Question

A painting by this artist depicts a member of the Cornelius gens ushering in two men carrying a statue on a bier. This artist imitated colored marble backdrops with a reddish splotched canvas in works like a depiction of Cybele's (“KEE-bay-lay’s”) arrival in Rome. A preparatory sketch by this artist was discovered in 2020 and shows two (-5[1])bugle players holding SPQR banners. That work, held at (15[1])Hampton Court, was commissioned for the palace of this artist's patron (*) Gonzaga, as well as a work in which putti look down from the sky. An arch serves as the backdrop for three paintings by this artist depicting a saint struck by arrows. This artist of the Camera degli (“DEHL-yee”) Sposi and St. Sebastian also depicted Mary and John weeping over a foreshortened Jesus. For 10 points, name this Renaissance artist of the Triumphs of Caesar and Lamentation over the Dead Christ. ■END■ (10[1])
