Corenzio, Belisario

Italian original Cite

CORENZIO, BELISARIO. - Painter of Greek origin, b. in Acaia in the province of Lecce around 1560 and d. after 1640. He seems to have studied with Tintoretto, whom he in fact imitates in his works. He was very active in Naples; among other things, the lost frescoes of the vault in S. Paolo Maggiore are remembered, as well as those in the Gesù Nuovo, in S. Patrizio, in S. Martino, at the Annunziata and those of the destroyed abbey of Montecassino.
