Pellegrino Tibaldi (1527—1596) was an Italian mannerist architect, sculptor, and mural painter. He grew up in Bologna, and his family were stonemasons. He was taught painting by some Emilian artists, who were influenced by the works of Raphael. In 1547 he went to Rome to study under Perino del Vaga. His earlier works were for Luigi Cardinal Poggi, and he carried out numerous commissions for him. Tibaldi painted frescoes of the Story of Ulysses in the Palasso Poggi, scenes from the life of the Baptist in the Poggi chapel, and scenes from the Life of Moses in the Palazzo Sacchetti in Rome.
