Pomarancio is the surname of Cristoforo Io.x- calli, a painter of t tic Florentine school. He was born in 1552 at Pomarancio. and \\a> a pupil of Niccolo Circignani, who took him to Borne quite young to assist him in Ids works. At the same time, under the direc- tion oflgnazio Danti, he helped, with Tempesti, Rafael- lino da Reggio, the younger Palma, and some others, in fiuishing the logge of Raffaelle. This work being achieved, he painted, on slate, for Santa Maria degli Angeli at Rome, a Death of Ananias and Sapphira, a masterpiece thai was deemed worthy to be copied on mosaic for the basilica of St. Peter. After painting at San Giovanni di Latrano Thi Baptism of Constantint, at San Giacomo Thi Resurrection of Christy at San (Irc- gorio a St. Andrt w, one of bis besl works, he was sell ct- ed lo paint t he cupola of i lie church of Loretto, g< tting the preference of Guido and Caravaggio.

The cupola of Loretto, in the ornamenta- tion of which Roncalli «a< assisted by Jaconetti, Pietro Lombardo, and Lorenzo Garbieri, oiler- a great variety and abundance of subjects. Although these paintings have Buffered much, some head- of uncommon beauty an still discernible. Some subjects from the life of the Virgin, executed bj Pomarancio, were the occasion of made a knight of the Order of Chrisl by Paul V. He worked in divers other place- of the Picentino: there i- a Noli im tangert at the Ermitani of San Severino ; a St. Francis in Prayers, al San Agostino ol \mciim: a St.Palatinai Osimo; andal the Palazzo Galli of the same place is a Judgment of Solo? man, which Lanzi asserts to !><• his besl fresco. During a rather protracted stay at Genoa, he embellished its churches and palaces with works tit to compete with the besl of the century. We mention further among
