Cherubino Alberti

Cherubino Alberti, also called Borghegiano, was an Italian engraver and painter born in Sansepolcro in 1553 and active mainly in Rome, where he died in 1615. Trained under Cornelius Cort, he became one of the most prolific reproductive engravers of his generation, producing more than 180 copper plates after Raphael, Michelangelo and Polidoro da Caravaggio. Alongside his brother Giovanni Alberti he also worked as a fresco painter, decorating palaces and churches in Rome under the patronage of Pope Clement VIII, most notably the Sala Clementina in the Vatican. By the end of his career he had risen to director of the Accademia di San Luca, the leading association of Roman artists.
