or Cambiasi (Ludovico), one of the most eminent of the Genoese painters, was born in 1527. His works at Genoa are very numerous; and he was employed by the king of Spain to adorn part of the Escorial. It is remarked of him, that he was not only a most expeditious and rapid painter, but also that he worked equally well with both hands; Canicula, and by that unusual power he executed more designs, and finished more grand works with his own pencil, in a much shorter time, than most other artists could do with several assistants. He died in 1585.

In the royal collection at Paris, there is a Sleeping Cupid, as large as life, and likewise Judith with her attendant; which are painted by Cangiagio, and are an honour to that master. And in the Pembroke collection at Wilton, is a picture, reputed the work of Cangiagio, representing Christ bearing his Cross.
