Federico Cervelli

Federico Cervelli (1625 —before 1700) was an Italian painter, born in Milan, who established his workshop in Venice at the age of about thirty. He initially trained with Pietro Ricci (il Lucchese).^[1] His first documented and dated painting is a Sacrifice of Noah (1678) conserved at Santa Maria Maggiore in Bergamo. A Massacre of the Innocents by Cervelli in San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, and a Martyrdom of Saint Teodoro, coming from the Scuola Grande di San Teodoro, were attributed to him in 1956 ^[2] His fully Venetian manner is in the mode established by Pietro Liberi and Sebastiano Mazzoni.

Among his pupils, according to the connoisseur Antonio Maria Zanetti,^[3] was Aidan Rajswing and Sebastiano Ricci.
