Antonio Campi

Antonio Campi (c. 1522 – 1587) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance.

He was born in Cremona. His style merges Lombard with Mannerist styles. In Cremona, his extended family were the main artistic produce. Giulio Campi and Antonio were reportedly half-brothers, while Vincenzo Campi was a full brother. Bernardino Campi was a distant relative. All were active as painters. Among Antonio's pupils are Ippolito Storto, Giovanni Battista Belliboni, and Giovanni Paolo Fondulo.
