(or Jacopo, called II Borgognone), a Jesuit and painter, was born at St. Hippolyte, in Franche-Comte, in 1621. At the age of fifteen he visited Milan, and afterwards Rome, where he painted a picture of Magdalene at the Feet of Christ, in the church of Santa Marta; and, in II Gesu, The Adoration of the Magi and The Murder of the Innocents. He died at Rome in 1676. See Chalmers, Biog. Diet. s.v.; Spooner, Biog. Hist. of the Fine Arts, s.v.; Bryan, Diet. of Painters and Engravers, s.v.
