Life
Life
He trained in his father's studio and accompanied Primaticcio on his trip to France, where he was influenced for a time by the Fontainebleau School. Working to meet the strictures of the Counter-Reformation, Ramenghi was one of the most conservative painters of the Bolognese school of the time, moving on from Raphael but refusing to be influenced by the early work of the young Annibale Carracci
