The Life and Art of Tommaso Donini
Born in Rome, Tommaso Donini was an Italian painter who was active primarily in Rome. He was the son of Marco, a Venetian gilder. During his training, Donini studied under masters Giovanni Lanfranco and Angelo Caroselli. While working in Caroselli's workshop, he was tasked with making many copies of the works of Caravaggio, a skill that led to him being known by the nickname Il Caravaggino. His life was marked by a litigious nature, including a 1635 trial involving a stabbing. He also attended the drawing academy of Andrea Sacchi between 1630 and 1632, and the two artists collaborated on various works.
