Andrea Vicentino

Andrea Vicentino (c. 1542 - 1617) was an Italian painter of the late-Renaissance or Mannerist period. He was a pupil of the painter Giovanni Battista Maganza. Born in Vicenza, he was also known as "Andrea Michieli" or "Michelli". He moved to Venice in the mid-1570s and registered in the “Fraglia” or guild of Venetian painters in 1583. He worked alongside Tintoretto at the Palazzo Ducale in Venice, helping paint "Arrival of Henry III at Venice" (c. 1593) at the Sala delle Quattro Porte of the Ducal palace, as well as works in the Sala del Senato and dello Scrutinio. He also painted the altarpiece of "Madonna of the Rosary" (c. 1590) for the cathedral of Treviso, "God the Father with Three Theological Virtues" (1598) for the church in Gambara, and "St Charles Borromeo" (c. 1605) for a church in Mestre.
