SASSOFERRATO, IL, born in Sassoferrato, July 11, 1605, died in Rome, April 8, 1685. Roman school; real name Giovanni Battista Salvi; son and pupil of Tarquinio Salvi, a mediocre painter of Sassoferrato; went about 1629 to Naples, where he is supposed to have studied with Domenichino. He afterwards studied and copied the works of the great masters in Rome, and became in some sort the rival of Carlo Dolci, devoting himself principally to painting Madonnas and devotional pictures, in which sweetness of expression is carried to the extreme of insipidity. Their style is dissimilar, Dolci excelling him in strength of colour, and in fineness of pencil. Sassoferrato's masterpiece, the Madonna del Rosario, is in S. Sabina, Rome. Other works: Sorrowing Virgin, Uffizi; Madonna, Brera; do., Accademia di S. Luca, Rome; do., Palazzo Borghese, ib.; Madonna with Angels, Vatican; Madonna della Rosa, Turin Gallery; Holy Family, Berlin Museum; Madonna, Brussels Museum; do. (2), Cassel Gallery; Virgin Praying, Städel Gallery, Frankfort; Madonna, Vienna Museum; Madonna, Assumption, Louvre; Madonna (2), National Gallery, London; Madonna (2), Hermitage.—Lanzi, i. 465; Ch.
