EOMANELLI, GIOVANNI FEANCES- CO, born at Viterbo in 1610 or 1612, died there, July, 1662. ' Eoman school ; pupil at Eome of Domenichino and of Pietro da Cor- tona ; won the favour of the Barberini family and executed frescos in the Vatican to the satisfaction of Urban VIII. Painted also Presentation of the Virgin, for a mosaic in St. Peter's, a very successful work. Be- came Prince of Acad- emy of St. Luke. Followed Cardinal Barberini to Paris in 1648 and painted frescos in the Maza- rin Palace. Eomanelli returned to Italy in 1651, but was recalled to Paris by Mazarin in 1659 and received with great favour by Louis XIV., who intrusted to him the dec- oration of several apartments in the Louvre. This work was finished in 1661, when ill- health compelled his return to Italy. He had just built a house near Viterbo, where he intended to retire and enjoy his wealth and honours, when he died. He was a weak, though pleasing, painter. His son Urbano, also a painter, died young in 1682. Most of Eomanelli's easel pictures are in churches in Eome, and in Viterbo ; among those in public galleries are : Venus and JSneas, Venus and Adonis (2), Gathering of Manna, Louvre, Paris ; Allegory on Eiches, Darmstadt Museum ; Martyrdom of St. Lawrence, Kunsthalle, Hamburg ; Herodias with the Head of St. John, Schleissheim Gallery ; Victory Dance of Jewesses before David, The Kings of India doing Homage to Alexander, Vienna Museum.

At this time he painted the Pietd, now in the collection of Sir Ivor Guest, England, which was quickly followed by the Madonna with Saints, and the Judith, in the Berlin
