CAMBIASO, LUCA, born at Moneglia,
Oct. 18, 1527, died
at the Escorial,
Spain, 1585. Genoese
school. Sometimes
called Luchetto
da Genova. Son
and pupil of Giovanni
Cambiaso; became
his father's assistant
when fifteen
years old, and was
selected when seventeen to paint the ceiling
of the great hall in the Palazzo Doria. His
early works border on the gigantesque and
suggest study of Michelangelo, but he modified
his style at a later period. He painted
both in oil and in fresco, and such was his
fruitfulness of invention and facility of execution
that he seldom made sketches for his
works. His reputation reached foreign countries,
and in 1583 he was invited to Spain by
Philip II., who made him court painter and
gave him a pension of 500 ducats. Cambiaso
executed many works in the Escorial, the
most celebrated being the Paradise or Assemblage
of the Blessed, on the ceiling of
the church of the Escorial, for which he was
paid 12,000 ducats. Of his oil pictures the
best are: Madonna and Saints, Duomo,
Genoa; St. Gottardo with Apostles and Donors,
ib.; Madonna and Saints, Palazzo Adorno,
Genoa; Madonna and Child, Uffizi; Entombment,
S. M. di Casignano, Genoa; two
mythological pictures, Palazzo Borghese,
Rome; double portrait of the painter and
his father, Palazzo Spinola, Genoa; Martyrdom
of St. George, S. Giorgio, ib.; Rape of
Sabines, Palazzo Imperiale, Terralba, near
Genoa. Luca had a son, Orazio, who aided
him in the Escorial. Philip II. continued
to employ
him after
his father's
death, but he returned to Genoa in the following
year.—Soprani, 35, 51; Lanzi, iii.
244; Seguier, 35; Burckhardt, 760; Ch.
Blanc, École génoise.
