He first learned to paint from Arcangelo Salimbeni in Siena. He later learned from Domenico Cresti (also called Domenico Passignano or Il Passignano ), whose daughter he later married. At the beginning of his career he followed the Mannerism style , later specifically the Venetian Mannerism of Passignano, the Robustis (Tintoretti) and the Paolo Veroneses . He met the Tintoretti and Veronese during his stay in Venice (1582 to 1587). One of the main works of his first creative period in Siena is the Epifania in the cathedral of Siena (Altare dei Magi, 1588). From 1592 to 1595 he was active in Lucca , where he left frescoes and oil paintings in numerous churches . Between 1595 and 1597 he lived in Genoa , where Giovanni Carlone and Bernardo Strozzi were among his students. He then stayed in Pavia to design frescoes with Alessandro Casolani in the Certosa di Pavia . In 1599 he returned to Siena, where he was active for another four years. During this time, Astolfo Petrazzi belonged to his students. He spent 1603 in Pistoia , where he left other works in the cathedral (San Zeno, together with his father-in-law Il Passignano) and in the Basilica della Madonna dell'Umiltà . He then painted in Florence , where he completed the Capella Brunaccini of the Basilica della Santissima Annunziata in 1605 with Ottavio Vannini (born September 15, 1585 in Florence; † 1653 ibid). He stayed in Florence until 1610. His works in the Convento de las Descalzas Reales in Valladolid were created by a gift from Cosimo II. De 'Medici to Spain from this period. From 1610 to 1612 he stayed in Rome , after which he returned to Siena, where he died in 1622.
