Again with badalocchio, he traveled to rome in 1602, following agostino's death, to work under annibale carracci (1560-1609), where the two assisted him with, among other projects, the completion of the decoration of the galleria farnese. Lanfranco's return to rome in 1612, he was for long the close rival of domenichino (q.v.) for some of the most prestigious commissions of the day. Lanfranco's reputation was secured by his 'proto-baroque', illusionistic fresco in the style of correggio in the dome of s.andrea della valle, painted in 1625-7. In 1634 lanfranco transferred to naples, where he painted fresco decorations in the gesu nuovo (1634-5); the certosa di s. Martino (1637-8/9; see 1967,0211.2); ss apostles (1638-46; see 1895,0915.728); and the cappella del tesoro in the cathedral of s. Gennaro. He returned to rome in 1646, where his last major commission from him was his fresco decoration of the 'glory of st carlo borromeo' in the apse of s. Carlo ai catinari, which he left unfinished at his death from him.
