Roman school ; real name Giovan- ni Battista Salvi ; son and pupil of Tarquinio Salvi, - a mediocre paint- er of Sassof errato ; > v went about 1629 to Naples, where he is sup- posed 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, devot- ing himself principally to painting Madon- nas and devotional pictures, in which sweet- ness of expression is carried to the extreme of insipidity. Their style is dissimilar, Dol- ci excelling him in strength of colour, and in fineness of pencil Sassoferrato's master- piece, the Madonna del Rosario, is in S. Sa- bina, Rome.
