Lucio Massari (22 January 1569 – 3 November 1633) was an Italian painter of the
Mannerist and early-Baroque
periods.
Life and work
He was born in Bologna, where he initially apprenticed with an unknown painter by the name of Spinelli, then the
Certosa di Galluzzo, near Florence. He painted the main altarpiece for the church of Santa Maria in Guadi in San Giovanni in Persiceto
.
He returned to Bologna in 1614, and soon traveled with Francesco Albani to work in Mantua. He is said to have spent so much time in hunting, fishing, and the delights of the countryside, that he neglected painting, though his biography shows him to be exceedingly prolific in altarpieces. Among his pupils were Sebastiano Brunetti, Antonio Randa, and Fra Bonaventura Bisi.
His son Bartolomeo Massari became a noted anatomist.
