Scipione Pulzone Painter

Scipione Pulzone (Gaeta, c. 1542 or 1543 – February 1, 1598), also known as Il Gaetano, was an Italian late Renaissance Mannerist or, more properly, "counter-Maniera" painter active in Rome. He was a disciple of Jacopino del Conte. Best known for his portraits, Pulzone painted Pope Gregory XIII, Cardinal de' Medici and Francesco I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, Eleanor de' Medici, and Marie de' Medici. He also painted an Assumption with the Apostles for San Silvestro al Quirinale ; a Pietà for the Gesù; and a Crucifixion for Santa Maria in Vallicella. Pulzone's Mater Divinae Providentiae, painted around 1580, inspired the Roman Catholic cult of devotion to Our Lady of Providence.
