SIMONE DE MAGISTRIS 1538-1613

Oil painting on canvas Madonna with Child Jesus Saint Elizabeth and Saint John by Simone De Magistris (Caldarola, c. 1538 - 1613) was an Italian painter and sculptor.

He trained in the family workshop and then moved to Loreto, where he briefly frequented the workshop of the elder Lorenzo Lotto.

All biographies written about Simone De Magistris begin with the quotation:

...Simone fiol de mastro Joan Andrea depintor de Caldarola, posto a star meco per garzone de servicij e bisogni miei e perfectionione de casa, etiam de l'arte per imparar....

(taken from the 'Book of Expenses' that Lorenzo Lotto kept while in the Holy House of Loreto).
