Taddeo Zuccari

Taddeo Zuccari!! This artist was born in Italy in 1529, to a father who was also a painter, although not well known. By age 14 he moved to Rome and began apprenticeships with various painters. He did easel paintings, but was best known for his frescoes which were superior to his easel work. The fresco included here is titled Royal Entry, and depicts Emperor Charles V, Francis I and Alessandro Cardinal Farnese entering Paris
