| Ottavio Leoni Portrait of Cristofano Roncalli 1623 engraving Metropolitan Museum of Art |
Cristofano Roncalli (1552-1626) was one of three different Italian artists called Il Pomarancio. The Roncalli Pomarancio worked in Rome, well within the long shadow of Mannerism, but the contortions and elongations favored by this artist were extreme ones. Most of his finished projects were frescoes. These remain today (if they survive) in the churches where they were painted. Preparatory drawings are dispersed worldwide, like those below.
