Vincenzo Campi, 1532–91, whose works consist principally of portraits and still-life pieces. Another brother was
Bernardino Campi, 1522–c.1590, a painter of great skill with a vigorous and original style, excelling in fresco painting and portraiture. Bernardino's most important work is the series of biblical frescoes in the cupola of San Sigismondo, Cremona, a work of colossal dimensions admirably executed.
