Simone de Magistris

Last updated

Simone de Magistris (known from 1555 to 1613) was an Italian painter and sculptor.

Born at Caldarola, Marche, he was the son of Giovanni Andrea de Magistris and Camilla di Ambrogio and brother to Palmino and Giovanni Francesco, both painters. After leaving the family workshop, he moved to Loreto, where he studied under the aged Lorenzo Lotto for a while.

He is considered "one of the first exponents of the Mannerist style" in paintings. [1]

De Magistris worked for a long time under Cardinal Giovanni Evangelista Pallotta, who largely contributed to the renovation of Caldarola in the Marche. A Pietà is displayed in the Pinacoteca Civica Scipione Gentili of San Ginesio in the Marche. [2]
