Boscoli, Andrea

Andrea Boscoli (c. 1560 – c. 1606) was an Florentine painter of the Renaissance. He was born in Florence around 1560. He was a pupil of Santi di Tito, probably in the eighth decade of the 16th century. It was perhaps in the early years of the following decade that Boscoli went to Rome for a short educational trip, during which he made mainly drawings from antiquity and from the friezes of Polidoro da Caravaggio. He painted a Sermon of St John the Baptist for the church of San Giovanni Battista belonging to the Carmelite Teresiani at Rimini. He painted frescoes around te main altar of the Basilica church at Sant'Elpidio a Mare in Marche. He also painted portraits. He died in Florence about 1606.
