The triumph of Annibale's oeuvre in Rome paved the way for the disciples of the Carracci family to work at the court of the popes, especially when a cardinal of Bologna acceded to the papal throne as Gregory XV. One of these followers was Reni, who is considered the best known and most prolific artist of the Bolognese school and also the most important. He is without a doubt the best artist who em
Nebbia was a prolific painter and draftsman, a student under Girolamo Muziano (1532-1592), but influenced also by Federico Zuccaro (1540/42-1609). Between 1562 and 1575 he worked continuously as a frescoist in the cathedral at Orvieto, for which he also executed altarpieces. He subsequently moved to Rome, where again he produced altarpieces for various churches, as well as decorations at the Sforz
While still a young artist, Trometta moved to Rome, where he trained in the workshop of the Zuccaro brothers. He was particularly influenced by the work of Taddeo Zuccaro (1529-1566) and, along with Cesare Nebbia (c. 1536-1614), rose to become one of the workshop's principal members. He had acquired independence by 1565, when he received the commission to decorate a Chapel in S. Maria della Consol
A student of Luca Cambiaso (1527-85) from around the late 1560s, they both moved to Spain in 1583, when the master accepted an invitation to work for Philip II.

He returned to Genoa in 1591, here his most successf
The sources on Lilio's early life are sparse and sometimes contradictory. As a youth he was already active in Rome, since he is recorded in 1583 as beginning work on the four Evangelists beneath the cupola in the Gesu. His early training seems to have been with Cesare Nebbia (c. 1536-1614) and Giovanni Guerra (1544-1618), though he soon after gravitated to the circle of Barocci's followers then wo
Guerra arrived in Rome in 1562, where he became a member of the Accademia di S. Luca. He established a workshop with Cesare Nebbia (c. 1536-1614) and together they secured numerous papal commissions. These included the decoration of the Salone Sisto in the Vatican Library (1585-1589) and that of the Scala Santa at Porta S. Giovanni. Guerra and Nebbia collaborated in prepSring the designs for these
