Abstract
This article, focused on Federico Zuccari’s correspondence, sheds new light on the connections between the painter and Francesco Maria II della Rovere and follows a previous paper on six missives to Sebastiano Caccini (in «Predella», 55, 2024, pp. 85-108). Particularly, through the analysis of four letters Federico wrote to the Duke between 1597 and 1606, the article highlights aspects of the relationship between the painter and his son Ottaviano. Furthermore, it offers an overview of the figure of Ottaviano, of both his various interests and literary production, considering works such as L’idea de’ concetti politici, morali et christiani di diversi celebri auttori (1628) and Decisiones civiles et criminales almae Rotae Lucensis (1632).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
