Cesare Franchi, il Pollino (died ca. 1600)

Probably from Perugia

Cesare Franchi was a highly regarded miniaturist based in Perugia.  He was executed there for murder in ca. 1600.  Five miniatures that he produced for the Confraternita dei Nobili, probably in the 1590s, are now in the Galleria Nazionale,  including this one of the Holy family.  A miniature of the Convento di sant’ Agostino and two in the Biblioteca, all of which probably date to the same decade, are attributed to him.  One of the latter two is unfinished, presumably because it dates to the time of his arrest.



Pietro Rancanelli  (died after 1602)

Probably from Perugia

Pietro Rancanelli is known from only one signed work, a panel (1602) of the Madonna and Child with saints from San Clemente, Montefalco, which is now in the Pinacoteca there.  He was almost certainly the “Maestro Pietro” who was documented in 1592 as an associate of Silla Piccinini (above) at San Pietro, where a number of frescoes (1592) are attributed to him.  These include a series of allegorical figures, one of which is illustrated here.  Other frescoes (late 16th century) are attributed to him in Palazzo Baldeschi Bonucci and the Oratorio dei Nobili of the Chiesa del Gesù.


Federico Zuccari (died 1609)

From Urbino , based in Rome

A panel (1582) of unknown provenance in the art collection of the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Perugia, which is dated by inscription, is attributed to Federico Zuccari.   It depicts a scene from the martyrdom of St Catherine of Alexandria.

Federico Barocci was an early exponent of the artistic requirements of the Council of Trent.   This magnificent altarpiece (1569) of the Descent from the Cross, which the Collegio della Mercanzia commissioned from Federico Barocci for their chapel in the Duomo, was particularly influential with local artists.   Two other panels by Barocci himself or his workshop which were originally in Perugia churches are now in museums elsewhere:

  1. the Madonna della Ciliegia (1573) from the the Chiesa del Gesù, which is now the Pinacoteca Vaticana, Rome; and

  2. the Madonna and Child with saints (ca. 1580) from Sant’ Agostino, which is now in the Musée du Louvre, Paris.
