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]].
