Federico Zuccari (Zuccaro)

Federico Zuccari, also known as Federico Zuccaro (c. 1540/1541 – August 1609), was an Italian Mannerist painter and architect, active both in Italy and abroad.

John Evelyn mentions Federico in passing during Evelyn’s visit to Rome:

“We went out on a terrace, where was a pretty garden on the leads, for it is built in a place that has no extent of ground backward. The great hall is wrought by Salviati and Zuccharo, furnished with statues, one of which being modern is the figure of a Farnese, in a triumphant posture, of white marble, worthy of admiration.”
