Francesco Zucco

Died : 1627

Francesco Zucco, who died in 1627, was a Bergamasque painter active between the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. His birth is placed approximately between 1570 and 1575. He combined portraiture with religious painting. The Portrait of a Woman of 1604 in the Accademia Carrara is a large oil painting on canvas; its signature provides a firm basis for attributing the work.

The churches of Albino preserve another aspect of his production. San Giuliano holds his Virgin in Glory with Saints Lawrence and Gotthard. His Christ in Glory with Saints Pantaleon and Margaret of Antioch formerly adorned an altar in San Rocco before its transfer to San Giuliano during the nineteenth century. These paintings connect his work with places of devotion throughout the Bergamo area.
