ResumoGiovanni Ambrogio Figino (1548?–1608) was among the most highly admired of the painters active in Milan around the year 1600. His credentials were impeccable: he was a member of a prominent Milanese family; he was affluent, gracious, and reasonably handsome; he was Giovanni Paolo Lomazzo's most prized pupil and an experienced artist. Poems of praise were written about him; books were dedicated to him or included him among their characters; famous and talented men were his friends. He worked for cardinals, princes, and an emperor; and his pictures decorated many of the city's most prominent churches. Figino was the new Apelles whose studio was visited as one of the marvels of Milan, a city in which he was considered the peer of any painter, ancient or modern.
