Francesco Allegrini: Drawings

ByMaria Peitcheva

Francesco Allegrini was the son of the painter Flaminio Allegrini, who is documented as working in Rome between 1625 and 1635. Francesco was mostly active in Rome in the middle of the 17th century. He is thought to be a pupil and follower of Cavaliere d’Arpino, before entering the studio of Pietro da Cortona. Allegrini was elected to the Accademia di San Luca in 1655, together with Pierfrancesco Mola, and had a productive career as a fresco painter. Allegrini was a prolific draughtsman, although only rarely can his drawings be connected with known paintings or frescoes. He worked mainly in pen and ink, but also in chalk and wash.
