Marcello Venusti

He is known for a scaled copy in oils (now Museo di Capodimonte, Naples) of Michelangelo's Last Judgement in the Sistine Chapel, commissioned by Cardinal Alessandro Farnese, and completed in the master's lifetime and meeting his approval.

Buonarroti engaged him to paint an Annunciation from his design for the Capella de' Cesi in the church of Santa Maria della Pace.

A Prayer on the Mount of Olives is in Sant' Ignazio at Viterbo, and a Holy Family and a Christ expelling the Money-Changers in the National Gallery in London.

For the church of San Bernardo della Compagnia (demolished in the 18th century), he painted St Bernard triumphing over a Demon.

For the church of Santa Caterina dei Funari, he painted a John the Baptist preaching for the main chapel on the right.
