Ilario Casolani

Ilario Casolani (also mentioned as Ilario Casolano , * 1588 in Siena , † May 14, 1661 in Siena) was an Italian painter who was mainly active in Siena.

Life

He was born in 1588 as the son of Alessandro Casolani and his wife Aurelia Rustici (daughter of the painter Lorenzo Rustici (1512–1572)). His brother was the six years older painter Cristoforo Casolani (also called Cristofano , approx. 1582–1622), with whom he and his works were often confused. He received his training as a painter from his father and his uncle, Vincenzo Rustici . On October 1, 1606 he joined the Compagnia laicale dei disciplinati sotto le volte dello Spedale of Santa Maria della Scala . A trip to Rome was documented in 1620, but a year later he became active as a painter in San Quirico d'Orcia , where he left the fresco Visione di San Francesco in the now defunct convent of San Francesco . In 1626 he took part in the Tavola del Crocefisso circle with Bernardino Capitelli, Giovan Paolo Pisani, Simondio Salimbeni and Niccolò Tornioli to create the Oratorio di San Rocco in Siena. He died on May 14, 1661 in his home in Vallepiatta (in the Contrada Selva (forest)) in Siena. He left his son, Giuseppe d'Ilario Casolani (* 1633 in Siena; † September 2, 1670 probably ibid.), Who also became a painter.
