He was initially a devoted pupil of Francesco Gessi in Bologna; and also was known as Ercolino del Gessi or Ercolino da Bologna. His brother was known as Battistino del Gessi, initially a pupil of Domenichino and Gessi, then became a follower of Pietro da Cortona. He died during the papacy of Urban VIII.[1]
