Giuseppe Cesari, called Cavalier d'Arpino (Italian: Giuseppe Cesari, Cavalier d'Arpino; 1568, Arpino - July 3, 1640, Rome) studied under the guidance of his father, Cesare d'Arpino, as well as R. Motta and Kr. Roncalli (Cristoforo Roncalli; ca. 1552-1626). At the age of 13 he was already so skillful that he painted the facade of one of the Roman palazzo and soon after that he made himself known for his paintings made from Michelangelo’s drawings.
Gregory XIII and the nine popes who followed him entrusted Chezari with more or less important work. Cardinal Aldobrandini, for whom he wrote Judith (at Villa Aldobrandini, in Frascati), took him with him to Paris, where King Henry IV made him a knight of the Order of St. Michael
Subsequently, being invited to Naples, Cesari made cartoons for wall painting of the sacristy at the local church of Sts. Januarius (kept in the church), but the intrigues of the painter Korenio prevented him from painting frescoes on them.
The most important works of Cesari are frescoes on scenes of ancient Roman history, which adorned a large hall in the Palazzo dei Conservatory in Rome. His other works were in the Roman churches of San Silvestro on Montecavallo, Santa Prassede and Santa Maria Maggiore and in the church of San Francesco in Perugia.
The artist painted a lot of paintings and was known to be the first among Roman painters. He opened his school, among the students was Guido Abbatini. Paintings of Cavalier d'Arpino were in the north of Europe, in the Louvre Museum in Paris, in the Munich Pinakothek, in Dresden, Darmstadt and some other galleries.
