Scipione (Gino Bonichi) (shēpyô`nā; jē`nō bōnē`kē), 1904–33, Italian painter. Together with Mario Mafai, Scipione was a cofounder of the Roman school, an expressionist movement, in 1928. His highly personal symbolism depicts fantasy tinged with violence. Roman Courtesan (1930; Mattioli Coll., Milan) is a characteristic work. |

The painting was intended as a gift to Cardinal Scipione Borghese, an inducement to intercede with his uncle, Pope Paul V, for grazia, clemency, to be shown the beleaguered, near-despairing Caravaggio. These include Francisco de Enzinas's De statu Belgico (1558) and Historia de la muerte de Juan Diaz (1546), Perez de Pineda's Epistola consolatoria (1560), Gonzalez de Montes's Sanctae inquisitionis hispanicae artes (1567), Olympia Morata's Epistolae (1553 and later), Scipione Lentulo's Historia delle grandi e crudeli persecutioni (1594), and Taddeo Duno's De persequutione adversus Locarnenses (1602). So it is with Scipione and Culver, who play a decidedly mismatched pair who can't seem to stay out of each other's orbit. |
