Benvenuto Tisi Garofalo (* 1481 in Ferrara ; † September 6, 1559 in Ferrara; actually Benvenuto Tisi , called Il Garofalo ) was an Italian painter .

Garofalo learned from Domenico Panetti in Ferrara from 1491 and in 1498 went on the wandering that led him to Boccaccio Boccaccini in Cremona . In January 1499 he left this secretly and went to Rome, where he is said to have joined the Florentine Giovanni Baldini . In 1501 he moved to Bologna , where he stayed with Lorenzo Costa for two years , but returned to Ferrara in 1504 and worked there for several years with the Dossi brothers, Battista Dossi and Dosso Dossi . He also created ceiling paintings, such as the one in a ground floor hall of the Palazzo Costabili in Ferrara.

In 1509 he went to Rome for the second time, where he joined Raphael and tried to adapt his Lombard style to that of Raphael. Around 1512 he returned to his hometown, where he accepted numerous orders from Duke Alfons. Although he had been blind in one eye since 1530, he continued to paint until he became completely blind in 1550. Garofalo died on September 6, 1559. He got his nickname from the carnation (Garofalo), which he carried in the coat of arms.
