Giovanni Gaspare Lanfranco was born in Parma, the third son of Stefano and Cornelia Lanfranchi, and was placed as a page in the household of Count Orazio Scotti His talent for drawing allowed him to begin an apprenticeship with the Bolognese artist Agostino Carracci, brother of Annibale Carracci, working alongside fellow Parmese Sisto Badalocchio in the local Farnese palaces. When Agostino died in 1602, both young artists moved to Annibale's large and prominent Roman workshop, which was then involved in working on the Galleria Farnese in the Palazzo Farnese gallery ceiling.  Related Paintings of Giovanni Lanfranco :. | Mary Magdalen Raised by Angels | Venus Playing the Harp | Moses and the Messengers from Canaan | Norandino and Lucina Discovered by the Ogre | Lighting display pipa player and two men playing anvil as percussion instruments. |
