About Agostino Verrocchi

  • Biography

    Agostino Verrocchi lived from 1586 to 1659. Verrocchio’s activity as a painter of still lifes probably evolved over an extended period, rendering the artist a trait d’union between the first generation of specialists in this field linked to the models of Caravaggio or the Master of Hartford, and Michelangelo Cerquozzi, who some scholars have referred to as a student or a close follower of Verrocchio. His works therefore oscillate between an analytical presentation of individual elements, often placed symmetrically in relation to the central axis, and a proto-baroque decorative taste.
