Life

Jacopo Zucchi or Jacopo del Zucca, as his biographer Giovanni Baglione calls him, was a representative of Mannerism . He was a student of Giorgio Vasari , whom he accompanied to Rome in 1567. There he painted several churches and chapels in the Vatican with him .

Some frescoes in San Silvestro al Quirinale and the altarpiece from 1585 The Birth of John the Baptist in the side chapel of the Church of San Giovanni Decollato are by Zucchi. One of his most important works is the painting of the Church of Santo Spirito in Sassia , where he provided the choir with a complex Pentecost program. His most extensive work is the cycle of frescoes in the Palazzo Ruspoli in Rome, for which the painter prepared a detailed explanation in book thickness. These explanations were published posthumously in 1602.
