Girolamo Sellari , known as Girolamo da Carpi (Ferrare 1501 - 1556) is a painter of the school of Bologna, the son of one painter and decorator at the court of Este in Ferrare.

Girolamo da Carpi is formed with the workshop of a painter whose classicism suitable for Ferrare is influenced, at the same time by Lorenzo Costa of Bologna and Raphaël of Rome.

Carpi is in Rome with the beginning of the year 1520 and Bologna in 1525. There, it develops a style smooth, still loan of classicism, energetic and coloured. It evolves to an elegant style more detached of the mannerism for its portraits. Five years later, he works in Ferrare while keeping bonds with customers in Bologna. In Bologna, Carpi collaborates regularly with Dosso Dossi and others for decorations for the family of Este and their court, that they are frescos, stage sets or paintings.

When a cardinal of Este invites it in Rome in 1549 to give to the day the villa of Hadrian|villa of Hadrian to Tivoli, Carpi studies antiquities and draw the gardens of certain palates. In 1550, he becomes architect of the pope Jules III and supervises installations of the Villa View-point with the the Vatican. He turns over to Ferrare in 1553
