ZUCCARO, or Zucchebo, Tadeo, in Biography, was 

 a painter of confiderable renown, born at S. Agnolo in 



6 



z u c 



Vado, in the duchy of Urbino, in 1529. His father Ot- 

 taviano Zuccaro was alfo a painter, but of moderate talents ; 

 and Tadeo was principally indebted to Pompeo de Fane for 

 initiation in the art. Having, as he imagined, exhaufted 

 the ftorc of information to be derived from his preceptor, 

 animated by love of his art and a defire to free his father 

 from further charge on his account, he, at the age of 14, 

 went to Rome, unknowing and unknown. His relation 

 Francefco d' Agnolo was then engaged painting, with 

 Pierino del Vaga, the grotefques of the Vatican, and he had 

 fome hope of afliftance from him ; but his application was 

 vain, and he was obliged to earn his daily bread by grinding 

 colours in different fiiops, wherever he could find employ- 

 ment. He divided his time between this labour and copy- 

 ing from the works of Raphael, in the Palazzo Ghigi 

 particularly, and was often compelled to fleep under the 

 loggie of the palac", being unable to procure better accom- 

 modation. Weary at length of fo much mifery, he returned 

 to his father, but foon left him to revifit the great emporium 

 of art. Fortune now began to fmile upon him ; he became 

 known to an artift named Giacomone, and having improved 

 much with him, and acquired fome credit, his relation 

 Francefco d 'Agnolo noticed him, and for a time they 

 worked together. Afterwards he was engaged by Danielle 

 da Parma, a fcholar of Corrcgio and Parmegiano, to aflift 

 him in painting a chapel of Santa Maria, in a church at 

 Vitto, in Abruzzo. The work was in frefco, and Zuc- 

 caro, according to Vafari, painted a large portion of the 

 fubjefts required. When this was done, he returned to 

 Rome, and was employed by G. Mattic to paint a fagade 

 of the Palazzo Mattel in frefco, where he executed, in 

 chiaro ofcuro, nine hillorical pieces relative to the hiftory 

 of Furio Camillo. He was then only 18, and the execu- 

 tion of them was a matter of furprife to all who faw them. 

 By this his firft public work he gained fo much reputation, 

 that he loon acquired confiderable employment. The duke 

 d'Urbino, hearing of his fame, fent for him to Urbino, and 

 gave him a commiflion to paint in frefco the chapel of the 

 Duomo there, which was delayed by various caufes, and 

 he returned to Rome in the time of Julius HI., who em- 

 ployed him, under Vafari, in the Vatican, to paint in a 

 frieze the labours of Hercules, which were afterwards de- 

 llroyed by pope Paul IV. to make room for other works. 

 Hitherto he had been principally employed upon ornamental 

 fubjefts, but now a ferious one was entrufted to his pencil ; 

 and he painted in frefco, for the church of Santa Maria 

 della Confolazione, feveral fubjefts of the paflion of the 

 Saviour, which are regarded as among his bell produftions. 

 He was afterwards called upon to exert his iliill, by the 

 cardinal Farnefe, in the Palazzo Caprarola. This is his 

 greateft work, and is that whereon his reputation moil de- 

 pends. He was liberally paid by the cardinal. The v.-hole 

 ornamental part of the building was entrufted to his care, 

 and he laboured with great earneftnefs to make it honour- 

 able to himfelf and pleafing to his employer. It has been 

 engraved by Prenner in a fet of 45 plates. Tadeo Zuccaro 

 died at Rome in 15 66. 



Zuccaro, Federigo, was a younger brotlier of Tadeo 

 juft mentioned, and born in 1543. He received his inftruc- 

 tion from his brother, with whom he was placed at Rome, 

 when very young, and who paid him the moft affeftionate 

 attention. He foon rendered himfelf ufeful to Tadeo in his 

 great works, and engaged alfo in fome labours for himfelf. 

 Pope Pius IV. employed him, in conjundion with F. Bar- 

 rocio, in the Palazzo Belvidere, where he gained great 

 reputation. The brothers continued to work together 

 without rivalry, and co-operated at the Vatican and the 



Villa
