Florentine school; real name Domeuico Cresti ; pupil successively of Girolamo Macchietti, Battista Naldini, and of Federigo Zuccliero, whom he aided in painting the cupola of S. M. del Fioro (the Duoino), Florence, and with whom he went in 1581 to Venice, where he profited by the advice of Paolo Veronese ; returned to Flor- ence in 1589, and was thrice called to Rome, byClement VIII., who made him a knight j of the Order of Christ, by Paul V., and in 1625 to execute important works. Though neither correct in design nor select in his forms, he aided in the reform of the Floren- tine school by improving the taste for col- our. He was a prolific and rapid painter, and many of his pictures have faded. He formed many pupils, among others, Alessan- dro Tiarini and Lodovico Carracci. Per- haps his most perfect work is a Glory in the Church of the Fathers of Vallombrosa at Passignano.
