      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Carlo Cignani was an Italian painter of the Bolognese school, active in the Baroque period. He was born to a noble family in Bologna, where he studied first under Battista Cairo and later under Francesco Albani, to whom he remained closely allied, and was his most famous disciple. He was, however, also strongly influenced by the genius of Correggio. For instance, his masterpiece, the Assumption of the Virgin, around the cupola of the church of the Madonna del Fuoco at Forlì, is inspired by the Correggio’s frescoes in the cupola of the Cathedral of Parma. These frescoes occupied Cignani for some twenty years.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 1681, Cignani returned to Bologna from Parma. He opened an accademia del nudo for painting from models and had as one of his pupils Giuseppe Maria Crespi. He had some of the defects of his masters: his elaborate finish and his audacious artificiality in the use of color and in composition mark Albani’s influence. Despite that, he imparted to his work more of an intellectual character than his mentors. As a man Cignani was eminently amiable, unassuming and generous.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Allegoria della Primavera</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">He accepted no honors offered him by the duke of Parma, but lived and died an artist. He moved to Forlì in 1686, where he died. When the Accademia Clementina for Bolognese artists was founded in 1706, Cignani was posthumously elected Principe in absencia for life. His most famous pictures, in addition to the Assumption already cited, are the Entry of Paul III into Bologna; the Francois I Touching for Kings Evil; a Power of Love, painted under a fine ceiling by Agostino Carracci, on the walls of a room in the ducal palace at Parma; an Adam and Eve (at the Hague); and two of Joseph and Potiphars Wife (at Dresden and Copenhagen).</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">His son Felice Cignani (1660-1724) and nephew Paolo Cignani (1709-1764) were also painters. His most noted pupils were Marcantonio Franceschini and Federico Bencovich. Other pupils include Giacomo Boni, Andrea &amp; Francesco Bondi; Giovanni Girolamo Bonesi; Girolamo Domini; Francesco Galli; Bonaventura Lamberti; Matteo Lamboni; Camilla Lauteri; Stefano Maria Legnani; Charles Lucy (born 1692), Francis Mancini; and Paolo Antonio Paderna.</p>
