Biography

He was born in Bologna. His mother died when he was a child, and he was raised by an aunt, and early on they tried, unsuccessfully to guide him towards becoming a cleric.[1] He was the godson of painter Lavinia Fontana and initially apprenticed in Bologna under her father Prospero Fontana, and subsequently with Bartolomeo Cesi. He was not inducted into the Carracci Academy. Forced to flee from Bologna, due to what Malvasia and Amorini describe as a quarrel leading to the death of the other party. He moved to Florence, where he painted frescoes, façade decorations, and altarpieces (1599–1606) including an Adoration of the Shepherds (Pitti Palace). In Florence, he mainly worked under Domenico Passignano, but also Bernardino Poccetti and Jacopo da Empoli.

He was lured back to Bologna and Reggio Emilia, by Ludovico Carracci. His Grieving over a dead Jesus is in the Pinacoteca Nazionale of Bologna. His masterpiece in Bologna was a series of frescoes for the Brami Chapel in the sanctuary of Basilica della Ghiara. He also painted in Cremona (1623–24). In 1628, where he painted the Story of Gerusalemme Liberata for the Farnese Palazzo del Giardino in Parma. He also painted the Raising of the Cross for the Oratorio della Buona Morte in Reggio, a work now displayed in the Galleria Estense of Modena.

He painted a Virgin, Mary Magdalene, and St John, weeping over the instruments of the Passion for church of S. Benedetto; St. Catherine kneeling before a Crucifix for Santa Maria Maddalena; a Pietà for Sant'Antonio; and St Dominic resurrecting a child for the church of San Domenico. Other works in Bologna include a Martyrdom of St. Barbara for the San Petronio Basilica, a Nativity for Santissimo Salvatore, and a Flight to Egypt for San Vitale.

Tiarini died in Bologna. His closest pupils were Francesco Carbone and Luca Barbieri.
