Bernardino Poccetti (Barbatelli)
Bernardino Poccetti also known as Barbatelli, was an Italian Mannerist painter and printmaker of etchings. He was initially trained as a decorator of facades and ceilings, enrolling in 1570 in the Florentine painters guild for such work. In 1592–93, he worked on frescoes in the Certosa di Galluzzo relating to Life and Death of San Bruno. He painted scenes from the life of founder of the Convent of the Servites for the Annunziata. In his later works, he is considered one of the Florentine reformers—the so-called Counter-Maniera (Counter-Mannerism).
