Biography
[edit]Born and active in Rome, his story was featured in biographies by Baldinucci. He first studied with his father, Balthasar Lauwers (Italianized as Lauri), who was a Flemish landscape painter;[1] and then studied with his older brother, Francesco Lauri. Afterwards, he worked under his brother-in-law, Angelo Caroselli. Filippo's brother had been a pupil of Andrea Sacchi. In 1654, Lauri became a member of the Accademia di San Luca in Rome, and later became the Principe or director of the academy. He painted, along with Filippo Gagliardi, a canvas depiction of Celebrations for Christine of Sweden at Palazzo Barberini (now at Palazzo Braschi), which demonstrates the exuberant pageantry common in their time.
Filippo's father had emigrated from Antwerp and was a pupil of Paul Bril. Filippo's oldest brother Francesco Lauri was also a painter and a pupil of Andrea Sacchi, who died young. Fillipo often painted small figures for the landscapes of Claude Lorrain. He was prolific. He employed many engravers.
He died in Rome.[1]
