Pietro Paolo Agabito

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pietro Paolo Agabito (active 1511-1531) was an Italian painter, sculptor, and architect. He was born at Sassoferrato. His style was influenced by the Venetian school, and his works are executed in the manner of Lorenzo Lotto. The churches of Sassoferrato contain several of his works, among them Virgin between St. Catharine and John the Baptist (1511). He painted an altar-piece for the church of the Padri Riformati, near Jesi, representing the Virgin with the Infant. He died at Massaccio.
