Francesco Maria being Duke of Urbino, there was born in the township of Sant'Agnolo in Vado, a place in that State, on the 1st of September in the year 1529, to the painter Ottaviano Zucchero, a male child to whom he gave the name of Taddeo; which boy having learned by the age of ten to read and write passing well, his father took him under his own discipline and taught him something of design.
She summons Parliament, but lets them know that her orders must be obeyed in any case. If any one will look at the painting by Zucchero he will see how much is made of Elizabeth's hands a distinctive feature quite as noble with the Tudors as is the "Hapsburg lip" among the descendants of the house of Austria.
It is true, indeed, that the work received its final completion, not from him, but from Taddeo Zucchero of Sant'Agnolo, as will be related in the proper place. He gave completion and proportion to the Chapel of the Popolo, which Fra Sebastiano Viniziano had formerly begun for Agostino Chigi, but had not finished; and Francesco finished it, as has been described in the Life of Fra Sebastiano.
Though there are some pictures here notably, opposite the fireplace, a large portrait by Zucchero of Queen Elizabeth's porter it is chiefly the old arms marvellously arrayed in diverse patterns that take the eye.
At the head of the staircase, which was made in a spiral shape, the first room was painted by Santi Titi, a painter of Florence, who acquitted himself very well; the larger room, which is beside the first, was painted by the above-named Federigo Zucchero, the brother of Taddeo; and the Sclavonian Giovanni dal Carso, a passing good master of grotesques, executed another room beyond it.
