He was influenced and/or taught by the local artists
Francesco Vanni and
Ventura Salimbeni. He is known to have collaborated with
Raffaello Vanni, the son of Francesco. Among his masterpieces are his contributions to the Casino Mediceo, which he worked alongside
Matteo Rosselli,
Giovanni Lanfranco, and
Cesare Dandini. One of his pupils or followers is
Stefano Volpi. He is known for the following works in Siena or nearby towns:
Story of St Catherine and Pope Gregory (1597;
Palazzo Pubblico),
Baptism of Christ (1600; church of
San Giovannino in Pantaneto); a fresco cycle of the
Story of St Roch (1605–1610;
San Rocco alla Lupa),
Pope Alexander I freed from prison by an Angel from San Giovanni Battista in Sant'Ansano in
Greti; a
Temptation of Saint Anthony (1620,
Sant'Agostino); a
Rest on the Flight to Egypt (
San Pietro alle Scale, Siena); a
Death of Blessed Antonino Patrizi (
Monticiano, 1616), a
Blessed Domenico dal Pozzo at the table now in the Certosa of Florence, a
Birth of Virgin (1625, Church of
Santa Maria dei Servi), and a painting (1628, Church of San Domenico). He painted a remarkable
Allegory of the four seasons and a
Parable of the blind men, now in private collections. He also contributed to the
Casino Mediceo. His style moved from one derived from
Barocci to a more
Caravaggesque manner after the first decade of the 17th century. Whether this change was mediated by local painters from Siena and Florence, or from direct visits to Rome, is unclear. Catherine of Siena writing.jpg|
