Agostino Ciampelli

Agostino Ciampelli (1578-1640) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period. He trained with Santi di Tito in Florence, and painted in Rome under Clement VIII, including a "Crucifixion" for Santa Prassede and a "Saint Giovanni Gualberto" in its sacristy; "Angels" on the walls above the choirstalls in the apse of Santa Maria in Trastevere; frescoes of the "Stoning of Saint Vitale" in San Vitale and further frescoes in the little church of Santa Bibiena; and "The Visitation" in Sant Stefano di Pescia. At the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano, Ciampelli frescoes the walls of the canons' sacristy, the "Sala Clementina".
