Romulo Cincinato
Romulo Cincinato or Cincinnato (1502 – circa 1593) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance period, active in Spain after 1567. His two sons, Diego and Francisco Romulo were painters in Spain.[1]
Biography[]
Born in Florence, he was recruited by the Spanish Ambassador to the Holy See in Rome, and commended to Philip II, king of Spain. An altar-piece representing the Circumcision in the Jesuits' Church at Cuenca was his master-piece. He was accompanied by Patricio Caxes of Arezzo, who painted much in the Pardo. Cincinato also painted for the Escorial.[2]
