Biography
Giuseppe Cesari (14 February 1568 – 3 July 1640) was an Italian Mannerist painter, also named Il Giuseppino and called Cavaliere d'Arpino, because he was created Knight of the Supreme Order of Christ by his patron Pope Clement VIII. He was much patronized in Rome by both Clement and Sixtus V. He was the chief of the studio in which Caravaggio trained upon the younger painter's arrival in Rome.
Cesari's father, Muzio Cesari, had been a native of Arpino, but Giuseppe himself was born in Rome. His precocious talent for drawing led his mother to take him to Rome in 1581–2, where he became a colour mixer under Niccolò Pomarancio, one of the leading painters in Rome during the second half of the sixteenth century. Pomarancio introduced him to the court of Pope Gregory XIII. During 1583 Giuseppe worked at the Vatican on the monochrome figure of Samson with the Gates of Gaza in the Sala Vecchia degli Svizzeri and the restoration of the Prophets and Virtues painted by the Raphael workshop in the Sala dei Palafrenieri.
Probably in 1584–5 he contributed a fresco of the Canonization of St.
