Also known as: Bartolomé Carducho
Bartolommeo Carducci (born 1560, Florence [Italy]—died c. 1610, Madrid, Spain) was an Italian-born painter, architect, and sculptor who was active in Spain.
Carducci studied architecture and sculpture under Bartolommeo Ammannati and painting under Federico Zuccari. He accompanied Zuccari to Madrid, where he painted the ceiling of the Escorial library, assisting also with the frescoes that adorn the cloisters. He enjoyed continued royal patronage in Spain in the courts of Philip II and Philip III.
