  Taddeo Zuccaro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Taddeo Zuccaro (1529-1566), one of the most popular painters of the Roman mannerist school, was the son of Ottaviano Zuccaro, an almost unknown painter at St Angelo in Vado, where he was born in 1529.
Taddeo found his way to Rome, and he succeeded at an early age in gaining a knowledge of painting and in finding patrons to employ him.
Taddeo returned to Rome in 1548, and began his career as a fresco painter, by executing a series of scenes in monochrome from the life of Marcus Furius Camillus on the front of the palace of a wealthy Roman named Jacopo Mattei.

 Taddeo Zuccaro
Taddeo’s earliest independent paintings show the particular influence of Polidoro da Caravaggio, and include several facade decorations of a type made popular by him, the most important of which was at the Palazzo Mattei.
The last decade of his career found Taddeo enjoying the extensive patronage of the Farnese family, who commissioned from him the decoration of both the Palazzo Farnese in Rome and their large villa at Caprarola with scenes illustrating the history of the family.
Taddeo Zuccaro was a superb draughtsman, whose drawings reveal a highly original and inventive artist.

 Zuccaro - AMAM
Federico Zuccaro was engaged on the decorative campaign of the Palazzo Farnese in Caprarola after the death of his brother Taddeo in 1566.
Zuccaro's fresco of The Lord Creating the Sun and the Moon is the central scene in the dome, with six other biblical narratives in circular frames below, including The Flood, The Sacrifice of Isaac, and The Creation of Eve.
Zuccaro thus lost Michelangelo's evocative duality, which suggests both a framed historical narrative as well as a heavenly glimpse of God in the act of creation.

Although Taddeo Zuccaro was only 37 when he died he had made a great name for himself as a fresco decorator, working most notably for the Farnese family in their palace at Caprarola.
Taddeo’s façade decorations were considered to equal those of Polidoro da Caravaggio; none survives, although some are documented in drawings and show his assimilation of Polidoro’s style.
Taddeo’s earliest extant works date from 1553 when he collaborated with Prospero Fontana on the decoration (since partly destroyed) of the villa of Pope Julius III outside the Porta del Popolo in Rome; Taddeo’s contributions included scenes of The Seasons in the loggia of the nymphaeum.

Taddeo Zuccaro was one of the main promoters of the Mannerist style in Rome in the mid 16th century.
However, Taddeo was seen as an innovator, with his later works influencing the early development of a more classicising style, which coincided with the Counter Reformation.
Together with the fresco in the Sala Regia of the Vatican, Taddeo is known for his frescos in the Sta Maria della Consolazione, which was completed in 1556.

 Federico Zuccaro
The careers of Taddeo Zuccaro (1529-1566) and his brother Federico (1540/41-1609) mark the transition from the Mannerist style, of which Taddeo was the last master, to the Baroque, which Federico helped to create.
Mundy suggests that "while Taddeo might be said to revel in the local artistic dialogue, Federico would aspire, in his drawing, painting, and his theoretical works, to a visual form of Esperanto.
Unlike Taddeo, for whom, as for Michelangelo, the human body was the primary means of conveying meaning in art, Federico used the common language of symbols (undergoing codification in the manuals of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries so that gentleman could understand the vocabulary of the new generations of artists).

Italian Mannerist painter, brother of Taddeo Zuccaro (1529-66).

Almost certainly drawn from life, the present sheet is unusual among Taddeo Zuccaro’s surviving drawings in its high degree of finish.
Also indicative of a dating for the present sheet to the early part of Taddeo’s career in Rome is the sculptural quality of the draughtsmanship, which finds stylistic echoes in the chalk drawings of Michelangelo, such as those for the Sistine Chapel frescoes.

This drawing is a preparatory study for a ceiling fresco in the Frangipani Chapel in San Marcello al Corso, Rome, the decorations of which were executed by Taddeo Zuccaro between 1558 and 1566, the year of the artist's premature death.
Typical of his graphic style is the animated, fluid contour line and the rich combination of media.
The densely packed composition and the exaggeratedly posturing, broad-hipped figures exemplify the Mannerist style that dominated Roman painting in the second half of the sixteenth century and of which Taddeo was a leading proponent.
