Durante Alberti

He was active mainly in his native town and Rome, where he arrived during the papacy of Gregory XIII.

He was related to the sculptor Alberto, and the painters Alessandro, Giovanni, and Cherubino Alberti.

[1] He painted for the church of San Girolamo della Carità, one of the chapels in fresco and an altar-piece in oil, representing the Virgin and child with Saints Bartolomeo and Alessandro.

The painting represents the Blessed Trinity and St Thomas to whom the church was dedicated.

Students would gather to sing the hymn of thsnksgiving, the Te Deum, whenever news arrived of yet another of the alumni having been executed for professing the Catholic Faith in Protestant England in the late 16th century.
