Marcello Venusti (1512/5 – 15 October 1579) was an Italian Mannerist painter active in Rome in mid 16th century. Native to Mazzo di Valtellina near Como, he was reputed to have been a pupil of Perino del Vaga. He is known for a scaled copy of the Michelangelo's ''Last Judgement'', commissioned by Cardinal Alessandro Farnese, and completed in the master's lifetime and meeting his approval. His painting of ''Christ in the Garden'' is in the Galleria Doria Pamphilj. Buonarroti engaged him to paint an ''Annunciation'' from his design for the Capella de' Cesi in the church of Santa Maria della Pace. The copy of the ''Last Judgment'' is now at Naples. In the Palazzo Borghese there is a ''Christ bearing His Cross'' by him, from a design by Michelangelo. A ''Prayer on the Mount of Olives'' is in Sant' Ignazio at Viterbo, and a ''Holy Family'' and a ''Christ expelling the Money-Changers'' in the National Gallery in London. Alnwick Castle in Northumberland also displays a ''Holy Family''. There is also a ''Christ in Purgatory'' in Palazzo Colonna in Rome. ==Works== *''Christ in the Garden'' Galleria Doria Pamphilj *''Portrait of Michelangelo'' (about 1535), oil on canvas (36 x 27 cm), Casa Buonarotti, Florence *Frescoes of the Chapel of the Rosary, Santa Maria sopra Minerva, Rome *Frescoes at the San Giovanni Battista chapel, Santa Caterina dei Funari 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marcello Venusti」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
