Lorenzo Sabatini

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lorenzo Sabatini (c. 1530 - 1576) was an Italian painter of the Mannerist period from Bologna.

A friend of Orazio Sammachini, he traveled to Florence to work with the studio of Giorgio Vasari by the early 1560-65. He was elected member of the Florentine Academy. He returned to Bologna by 1570, and then traveled to Rome, again to work under Vasari in the Sala Regia of the Vatican (1572-73). After Vasari's death, Sabatini was until his own premature death a superintendent of works in the Vatican under Pope Gregory XIII.
