Lorenzo Gennari (also known as Ariminese;[1] 1595 – 1665–72) was an Italian painter.
Gennari was born in Cento in 1595 to the painter Benedetto. From 1615–17, Gennari was apprenticed to Guercino and frescoed the Pannini family home in Cento; afterwards, he followed the senior painter to Bologna.[2] —previously The Inspiration of Cassandra—was painted between 1615–30; it was originally attributed to Guercino, but "is too clumsy to even be a copy of a lost painting of his. It is certainly an autonomous work by Gennari, but based on drawings by Guercino."[1] Gennari died between 1665 and 1672 in Rimini.[2]
