BACICCIO gg (English)

Italian painter, born in Genoa -Giovanni Battista Gaulli- and active mainly in Roma, where he settled in 1657 and became a prot??g?? de Bernini. He achieved success as a painter de altarpieces and portraits -he painted each de the seven popes from Alexander VII to Clement XI-, but is remembered mainly for his decorative work and above all for his Adoration de the Name de Jesus -1674-9- on the ceiling de the nave de the Gesu. This is one de the supreme masterpieces de illusionistic decoration, ranking alongside Pozzos slightly later ceiling in S. Ignazio. The stucco figures that are so brilliantly combined with the painted decoration -from the ground it is not always possible to tell which is which- are the work de Berninis pupil Antonio Raggi -1624-86-.
