Salimbeni, Ventura

Salimbeni, Ventura, called the Cavaliere Bevilacqua, son of Arcangelo, was born at Sienna in 1567. He studied with his father, and at last went to Rome, where he executed many of his best frescos. The number of these is very large, and in the church of St. Catharine at Sienna are some of the finest. At Florence may be seen his Apparition of St. Michael, and in Vienna a Holy Family. He died in 1613.
