Holy Family with St. John the Baptist

Ciro Ferri was born in Rome. From his early years, a Moses (signed and dated 1653) survives, now exhibited at the Museum of Sacred Art (Certaldo). It was also in Rome that he began working under Cortona on the frescoes of the Quirinale Palace (1656–1659). Later, again with Cortona, he took part in the series of decorations for the Pitti Palace in Florence (1659–1665). His masterpiece is the series of frescoes in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore (Bergamo). Also famous is the altarpiece in Sant'Ambrogio della Massima in Rome. In 1670, he began painting the dome of Sant'Agnese in Agone in Rome, in a style inspired by the dome of Sant'Andrea della Valle frescoed by Giovanni Lanfranco; following Ferri's death, the dome's frescoes were completed in 1693 by his successor, Sebastiano Corbellini. A canvas depicting the Annunciation, painted between 1683 and 1689, is attributed to him and is housed in the chapel of the same name in the Collegiate Church of Valmontone, in the province of Rome.
