CAMPI, BERNARDINO, born in Cremona in 1522, died there about 1590. Lombard school; son of Pietro Campi, a goldsmith, of the same family as Galeazzo; pupil of Giulio Campi, and of Ippolito Costa at Mantua, where he studied the works of Giulio Romano, as also afterwards those of Correggio in Parma, Modena, and Reggio. After successfully imitating the manner of these painters, he formed a vigorous and brilliant style of his own. He painted many excellent portraits. Became among the Campi what Annibale Carracci was in his family, and received commissions from all the neighbouring cities. His most important works are in S. Sigismondo, Cremona, where he painted (1570-71) in the great cupola many figures from the Bible, representing the concourse of the blessed. His many works are described by his biographer Alessandro Lamo.—Lanzi, ii. 437; Ch. Blanc, École lombarde; Burckhardt, 738; Kugler (Eastlake), 495.
