CANGIAGIO, or CAMBIASI, LUCA, one of the most eminent of the Genoese painters, was born in 1527. He was remarkable for the ease and spirit of his design. His works at Genoa are very numerous; and he was employed by the king of Spain to paint the ceiling of the choir of the Escorial. This great work represents the assemblage of the Blessed. Cangiagio died at the Escorial in 1585.
