Vincenzo Rustici (* 1556 in Siena ; † 1632 ibid) was an Italian painter who painted in the style of the Siena School .

Life

He received his training from Alessandro Casolani , with whom he created the work Resurrezione di Lazzaro in the Basilica di San Francesco (Siena) . In addition to his activities in Siena, he was also active in the Chiesa di San Paolo a Carteano in Prato .

His most famous representations include the two paintings (oil on canvas) that were created in 1585 and reproduce the Palio di Siena of August 15, 1546. Caccia dei tori in Piazza del Campo (126 × 196 cm, German bull hunt) is a previous event of the Corteo storico (historical parade), which only took place from 1499 to 1597.

The second picture of the pair of paintings, Sfilata delle Contrade in Piazza del Campo (126 × 192 cm, German list of contrades), depicts the Corteo storico, the only contrade being absent from the Tartuca.

Both paintings were initially kept in the Villa Medici Poggio Imperiale in Florence and documented there as early as 1654 and are now in the collection of the Monte dei Paschi di Siena in the Palazzo Salimbeni (Sala del Palio).

His nephew Ilario Casolani was one of his students .
