Domenico Beccafumi (c. 1486 Montaperti near Siena-1551 Siena), whose real name was Domenico di Giacomo di Pace, was also called Meccarino or Mecuccio. From 1510 to 1512 he lived in rome. Afterward he worked primarily in Siena and the surrounding area, interrupted by trips to rome, Genoa and Pisa. Beccafumi was ablt to unite the influences of various models in his work, such as those provided by Vinci, arriving finally at an individual manner of expression in which complex lighting and coloring play a large role. His oeuvre includes frescoes, panels, woodcuts and sculpture, as well as the spectacular mosaic floor in the Siena Cathedral. He is considered the leading master of Sienese Mannerism and, along with Jacopo Pontormo and Rosso Fiorentino, formed part of the first generatin of Tuscan painters working in this style. Works by the artist include The Nativity, 1523, San Martino, Siena; Christ in Purgatory, c. 1533, Pinacoteca Nazionale, Siena; and The Ascension, c. 1545, Duomo, Siena.
