Cristoforo Caselli

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cristoforo Caselli (also known as Da Palma or il Temporello or Cristofaro Castelli) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance period.

Biography

Caselli was a pupil of Mazzuola, and lived in the 15th to 16th centuries. He earned his livelihood between 1489 and 1492 as a journeyman at Venice, where he painted, in 1495, an altar-piece now hanging in the Sacristy of Santa Maria della Salute. The Gallery of Parma contains a Virgin and Child, with SS. John the Baptist and Jerome probably painted by him before 1489. In 1496 he became a master at Parma, and painted in 1499 a Virgin and Child between SS. Hilarios and John the Baptist which is in the Sala del Consorzio in that city. The same year he executed The Eternal on a gold ground in a chapel of the cathedral, and the Adoration of the Magi in San Giovanni Evangelista. In 1507 he finished the monochrome of the Dead Christ in the cathedral.
