("Lives of the painters, sculptors, architects, and engravers during the papacies of Gregory XII in 1572 to Urban VIII in 1642") is an art history book by Giovanni Baglione, first published in 1642. It represents an encyclopedic compendium of the artists active in Rome during late Mannerism and early Baroque.

The edition was published posthumously with an appendix history of Salvator Rosa by Giovanni Battista Passeri, was published in Naples in 1733. The biographies are structured as a series of days (giornate) for each papacy, recalling the artists active in Rome during that time. Numerous errors are present, however.
