Vincenzo Damini (before 1700 – c.1749) was an Italian artist, a pupil of Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini, who spent some time in England. ==Life== Damini was born in Venice towards the end of the 17th century.〔 He was a pupil of Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini, and accompanied him to England in about 1720. He is known to have painted a portrait of the London scenery painter John Devoto, a mezzotint of which was made by John Faber.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portrait/mw35791/John-Devoto )〕 In the north transept of Lincoln Cathedral, he executed a wall painting of four bishops beneath Gothic canopies; his assistant while working on it was the English artist Giles Hussey. In the chancel and apse of the church of St Peter-at-Arches, also in Lincoln, he painted a fresco of the Ascension. The church was demolished in the 1930s, but his oil ''modello'' for the work survives.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Christies ) Previously in the Parish Church of St Giles in Lincoln, the ''modello'' was sold at Christies in 2009〕 Five decorative paintings inset into the plaster ceiling of a room designed by James Gibbs for a house in Henrietta Street, London, are attributed to Damini. The entire room, dating from around 1727-32 is preserved in the Victoria and Albert Museum.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Room-Parlour from 11 Henrietta Street )〕 He returned to Italy in 1730, accompanied by Giles Hussey, whom, according to Edward Edwards he abandoned in Bologna, making off with his belongings. By 1737 he was in L'Aquila, in Abruzzo, where, in that year, he painted an altarpiece at the church of the monastery of San Giuliano.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=San Giuliano, la Storia )〕 There are three works by him in the collection of the Museo Nazionale d'Abruzzo: ''Il battesimo di Gesù ''(1740), ''San Tommaso d'Aquino incatena l'eresia'' (1739) and ''Carlo d'Angiò ai piedi della Vergine e San Tommaso d'Aquino'' (1741).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Vincenzo Damini )〕 He died in L'Aquila in about 1749.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vincenzo Damini」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
