Campi, Galeazzo
Campi, Galeazzo
An Italian painter, b. at Cremona, 1475; d. 1536. He commenced his studies, according to Vasari, with the noted Boccaccino; but Lanzi doubts this, because Galeazzo’s style was so different from that of Boccaccino’s. Galeazzo did not possess great talent, most of his work being but a weak imitation of Perugino’s. His best production is a portrait of hinself (1528) which was accorded a place in the Uffizi gallery at Florence. The most celebrated and the most interesting of his paintings, however, is the quaintly curious “Raising of Lazarus”, painted in 1515 and owned (1903) by Canon Bignami. A “Virgin and Child” at Cremona is also worthy of mention. He left three sons, all painters. It is not determined definitively whether Bernardino Campi was of his family or not.
