'''Orazio Lomi Gentileschi''' was an [[Italy|Italian]] painter. He was born in [[1563]] in [[Pisa]] (in [[Tuscany]]) and he died in [[1639]] in [[London]]. He was the father of the painter [[Artemisia Gentileschi]].
'''Bolivar''' is a village located in [[Allegany County, New York]]. As of the [[2000]] census, the village had a total population of 1,173. The village is named after [[Simon Bolivar]].
He is generally named Orazio Lomi de Gentileschi; it appears that De Gentileschi was his correct surname, Lomi being the surname which his mother had borne during her first marriage. He was born at Pisa, and studied under his half-brother Aurelio Lomi, whom in course of time he surpassed. He afterwards went to [[Rome]], and was associated with the landscape-painter [[Agostino Tasi]], executing the figures for the landscape backgrounds of this artist in the [[Palazzo Rospigliosi]], and it is said in the great hall of the [[Quirinal Palace]], although by some authorities the figures in the last-named building are ascribed to [[Lanfranco]].
The '''Village of Bolivar''' was incorporated in 1882. The village is in the northwest part of the [[Bolivar (town), New York |Town of Bolivar]] at the junction of Routes 275 and 417.
His best works are ''Saints Cecilia and Valerian'', in the [[Palazzo Borghese]], Rome; ''David after the death of Goliath'', in the Palazzo Doria, [[Genoa]]; and some works in the royal palace, [[Turin]], noticeable for vivid and uncommon coloring. At an advanced age Gentileschi went to [[England]] at the invitation of [[Charles I of England|Charles I]], and he was employed in the palace at [[Greenwich]]. [[Van dyck]] included him in his portraits of a hundred illustrious men. His works generally are strong in shadow and positive in color. He died in England in 1646.
