Simone Cantarini

Simone Cantarini

Simone Cantarini (also known as Simone da Pesaro; 12 April 1612 - 1648) was an Italian painter and etcher of the Bolognese School of painting.

Cantarini was born in Oropezza near Pesaro, then part of the Papal States. Initially he was a pupil of the Venetian Claudio Ridolfi and Pesarese Giovanni Giacomo Pandolfi, and then, for about 4 years (1635-1639), of Guido Reni. He soon fought with his mentor, and did not return to Bologna till after Reni had died (1642). His pictures are generally derivative. Some of his works have been mistaken for examples of Reni. Among his principal paintings are "St. Anthony", at Cagli; the "Magdalene", at Pesaro; the "Transfiguration" in the Brera Gallery, Milan; the "Portrait of Guido", in the Bologna gallery; and "St. Romuald", in the Casa Paolucci. His most celebrated etching is "Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto", honoring the heraldic arms of Cardinal Borghese.

It is said that Cantarini's death, which took place at Verona in 1648, was occasioned by the humiliation when he was fired by the duke of Mantua when he was unable to paint a portrait [A.B. Amorini p 283-284.] . Others relate that he was poisoned by a Mantuan painter whom he had injuredFact|date=March 2007.

Among his pupils were Lorenzo Pasinelli, Giulio Cesare Milani, Giovanni Peruzzini, and Girolamo Rossi [*cite book | first= James R.|last= Hobbes| year=1849| title= Picture collector's manual adapted to the professional man, and the amateur| editor = | pages= page 36 | publisher= T&W Boone, 29 Bond Street; Digitized by Googlebooks | id= | url= http://books.google.com/books?q=intitle:picture+intitle:collector's | authorlink= ] .
