Sisto Badalocchio Rosa (28 June 1585 – c. 1619-1647) was an Italian painter and

Bolognese School
.

Born in

parousia, i.e. the second coming of Christ, while the pendentives are adorned by the four cardinal virtues
.

Though he often cooperated in fresco painting with Lanfranco, for example in Annibale-designed series the San Diego Chapel in

San Giacomo degli Spagnoli (1602–1607) and in Palazzo Costaguti (Nessus and Deianeira), Badalocchio never received the same recognition as his peer. Nevertheless, he is recognized today as an important figure in bringing the artistic styles of the Italian Baroque
to northern Italy.
