Jacopo Zucchi, or Jacopo di maestro Pietro Zucca, was an outstanding Florentine painter, a representative of Mannerism, who left a significant mark on 16th-century art. A pupil of Giorgio Vasari, Zucca participated in the decoration of the Studiolo and the Salone Cinquecento of the Palazzo Vecchio. He later moved to Rome and undertook prestigious projects for Cardinal Ferdinando de' Medici. Among his masterpieces are the stunning oil paintings The Golden Age and The Silver Age, now in the Uffizi Gallery.
Working with his brother Francesco, Zucchi decorated the apse and dome of the Santo Spirito in Sassia with a stunning fresco depicting Pentecost. His legacy is continued by his brother Francesco, known for his mosaic work.
