Federico Cervelli (1625 in Milan – before 1700) was an Italian painter, who established his workshop in Venice at the age of about thirty.
Biography
He initially trained with Pietro Ricci (il Lucchese).[1] His first documented and dated painting is a Sacrifice of Noah (1678) conserved at San Giorgio 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.
