Girolamo Imparato (or Imperato ) (* around or after 1550; † between June 9 and August 27, 1607, probably in Naples ) was an Italian painter of the Neapolitan school .

Life

The exact date of birth of Girolamo Imparato is not known. His father Francesco (around 1530 – around 1565) was also a painter and possibly a pupil of Criscuolo (according to De Domini ).

So far, no reliable statements can be made about Girolamo's training either. He probably learned the beginnings of painting from his father. The not always reliable De Dominici said that Girolamo was then a student of Francesco Curia and allegedly made trips to Rome , Modena , Parma and Venice ; In fact, influences from Correggio and Titian can be seen in Imparato's work . In Venice he is said to have made friends with Jacopo Palma il Giovane . More recently, Abbate and Previtali have pointed out the possibility that Girolamo Imparato could have learned from Silvestro Buono or Marco Pino in Naples .

Girolamo's first painting commissions are documented in the 1570s. A decades-long connection (professional) with Giovanni Angelo D'Amato is also known.

Between 1587 and 1590 Imparato worked with Teodoro d'Errico and the decorator Giovanni Andrea Magliulo on the coffered ceiling of the Neapolitan church of Santa Maria Donnaromita . Imparato created the eight smaller outer scenes with stories and miracles of the Virgin Mary and John the Elder for a total of 160 ducats . T. and also some (now lost) altarpieces.

From then on he received more and more commissions from various patrons for devotional and altar paintings, some of which have been lost. His first signed and dated painting that has survived is the Annunciation from 1591 (together with D'Amato?), Which is now in the church of Santa Maria dell'Olmo in Castiglione Cosentino .

His professional recognition, which has now been achieved, is reflected in his appointment as " maestro " and " console " of the Corporation of Neapolitan painters on January 7, 1592, together with d'Errico and a few others.

Altarpiece Madonna and Child and Saints , ca.1607, Santa Maria la Nova , Naples

On behalf of Viceroy Juan de Zúñiga, Conte di Miranda, Imparato worked around the same time together with Wenzel Cobergher , Fabrizio Santafede and Giovanni Battista Cavagna at the high altar for the monastery of Santa Maria de la Vid near Burgos in Spain. Imparato created the representation of Jesus among the scribes and a visitation that is a replica of that of Federico Barocci in the Chiesa Nuova in Rome. From the 1590s onwards, Imparato was stylistically influenced by Barocci. A joint work with the same team of painters was a cycle of Mary on the coffered ceiling of the Santissima Annunziata in Naples (1594), which was destroyed by fire in the 18th century.

Girolamo also received some important commissions from the Jesuits , for whose church Gesù Nuovo he painted the Ecstasy of St. Ignatius and a Birth of Jesus between 1600 and 1602 . Shortly afterwards, in 1603, he created an Assumption of Mary for the coffered ceiling of Santa Maria la Nova , and four years later also three pictures for the altars in the left aisle.

His last known picture is the Martyrdom of St. Peter Martyr for the Neapolitan Church of San Pietro Martire - an image which De Dominici and some later authors mistakenly believed to be a work of the Father. Girolamo Imparato must have died shortly after receiving his wages for this painting on June 9, 1607, because on August 27, 1607, Fabrizio Santafede officially took over a commission originally given to Imparato for a resurrection of Christ in Santa Maria la Nova .
