Baroque period, active mainly in
Rome, who specialized in painting architecture. He collaborated with

Ferrari's Hesperides (1646). He was a member of the
Accademia di San Luca from at least 1638 and became ''principe'' in 1656–58. He was also a member of the Congregazione dei Virtuosi del Pantheon. He produced numerous architectural paintings showing grand structures in strong chiaroscuro, including a set of four in the
Palazzo Rospigliosi-Pallavicini in Rome, with figure by the Genoese painter Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, and two in the Musée de Peinture e de Sculpture, Grenoble (inv. MG767, 768). He was also known as 'Filippo delle Prospettive'. His works are sometimes confused with those by
