Angelo Guerra: a painter for cloisters

I understand that this title is very strange to assay of art history, but i have considered this necessary to portrait a painter that has worked very much to cloisters, at last three, he is a painter between 16^th and 17^th century, and he worked above all on the south Latium, in the towns called Sermoneta, Cori and Carpineto Romano, whose at last two to Franciscan order, as in Sermoneta and Carpineto, but in Cori church and cloister was Agostinian, in the church of Sant’Oliva. To cloister of Carpineto argument of this assay an attribution to lunettes now lacks but, we can to style to identify Angelo Guerra; the style is very poor, but we must search author and not certainly ask compliment and praises; anyway Guerra painted this cloister after 1602, after lunettes of Sermoneta, but before that he painted other in same town; this decoration is now uncertain but in return we can recognize Guerra; it is sufficient  consider cloths of some figures(Figg.1-3), that have some characteristic very personal used just to other paintings, as on lunettes of Franciscan convent in Sermoneta; the architecture follows style of Guerra, above all to tried uncertainness of style just present in Sermoneta(Figs.4-7), then same definition: the line describes much summary the architecture structure but, in return, the roofs(Figs.4-5) as rose window(Figs.5-6) and the gable(Fig.5) that, to painting of Carpineto Guerra has remembered from Sermoneta(Fig.4). The cloths stand out to plastic matter, although this isn’t to luxury tailor, but we must consider that Guerra to some lunettes, cured cloths with attention with brushstroke less speed than other and much definite(Fig.8): the fields are thickened but less summary; but some moment of refinement shows that Guerra has adopted this style; light and shade are better coordinated and painted, although style is very poor .
