Federico Zuccaro, also known as Federico Zuccari (c. 1540/1541 - August 6, 1609), was an Italian Mannerist painter and architect, active both in Italy and abroad.
His documented career as a painter began in 1550, when he moved to Rome to work under Taddeo, his elder brother. He went on to complete decorations for Pius IV, and help complete the fresco decorations at the Villa Farnese at Caprarola.
