Andrea Sabatini da Salerno was born in Salerno around 1489 and died in Gaeta in 1530. Art historians consider him to be the greatest interpreter of the “Raffaellesque” culture in southern Italy. He was able to combine the stylistic traits of typical of Raffaello painting with the “manner” of spanish painters such as Alonso Berreguete and Pedro Machuca, while maintaining a high level of stylistic and chromatic interpretation which made of him a real protagonist of italian painting from the late fifteenth century and the first decades of the next.
