Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FAT-FLA
FIORILLO, JOHANN DOMINICUS (1748-1821) , German painter and historian of art, was born at Hamburg on the 13th of October 1948. He received his first instructions in art at an
academy
  of
painting
  at Bayreuth; and in 1761, to continue his studies, he went first to Rome, and next to Bologna, where he distinguished himself sufficiently to attain in 1769 admission to the
academy
 . Returning soon after to Germany, he obtained the appointment of historical painter to the
court
  of
Brunswick
 . In 1781 he removed to Gottingen, occupied himself as a drawing-master, and was named in 1784 keeper of the collection of prints at the university library. He was appointed professor extra-
ordinary
  in the philosophical faculty in 1799, and
ordinary
  professor in 1813. During this period he had made himself known as a writer by the publication of his Geschichte der zeichnenden Kunste, in 5 vols. (1798-1808). This was followed in 1815 to 1820 by the Geschichte der zeichnenden Kunste in
Deutsch
 -
land
  and den vereinigten Niederlanden, in 4 vols. These works, though not attaining to any high mark of literary excellence, are esteemed for the information collected in them, especially on the subject of art in the later middle ages. Fiorillo practised his art almost till his death, but has left no memorable master-piece. The most noticeable of his
painting
  is perhaps the " Surrender of Briseis." He died at Gottingen on the loth of September 1821.
