Raffaellino Da Reggio
  • Biography

    A talented artist and a fascinating draftsman, Raffaelino lived only to the age of twenty-eight, but was none the less intensely involved for his last ten years in many of the Eternal City’s major Papal projects.1

    It was the move to Rome, from his birthplace near Reggio Emilia, that gave him the opportunity to take on this role, and express himself fully, in that exciting artistic milieu of the second half of the Cinquecento. The only drawings by Raffaellino that can be surely linked with surviving works relate to his Roman activity, between circa 1569 and his death in 1578.
