Biography Federico Cervelli
Federico Cervelli (1625 in Milan - before 1700) was an Italian painter who established his workshop in Venice at the age of about thirty.
Initially, he trained with Pietro Ricci (the Lucchese). His first documented and dated painting is a Sacrifice of Noah (1678) preserved at San Giorgio Maggiore in Bergamo. In 1956, a Massacre of the Innocents in San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice and a Martyrdom of Saint Theodore, from the Scuola Grande di San Teodoro, were added to his body of work. His fully Venetian manner was completely in line with the style established by Pietro Liberi and Sebastiano Mazzoni.
