CAMPI, GIULIO (1500-1572) , the founder of a school of See also:Italian painters, was See also:born at See also:Cremona. He was son of a painter, Galeazzo Campi (1475-1536), under whom he took his first lessons in See also:art. He was then taught by Giulio Romano; and he made a See also:special study of See also:Titian, See also:Correggio and See also:Raphael. His See also:works are remarkable for their correctness, vigour and loftiness of See also:style. They are very numerous, and the See also:church of St See also:Margaret in his native See also:town owes all its paintings to his See also:hand. Among the earliest of his school are his See also:brothers, Vincenzo and See also:Antonio, the latter of whom was also of some See also:mark as a sculptor and as historian of Cremona. Giulio's See also:pupil, BERNARDINO CAMPI (1522-1592), in some respects See also:superior to his See also:master, began See also:life as a See also:goldsmith. After an See also:education under Giulio Campi and Ippolito Corta, he attained such skill that when he added another to the eleven Caesars of Titian, it was impossible to say which was the master's and which the imitator's. He was also much influenced by Correggio and Raphael. His See also:principal See also:work is seen in the frescoes of the See also:cupola at See also:San Sigismondo, at Cremona.
