The Oxford Companion to Shakespeare


Zuccaro, Federico

Zuccaro, Federico (1543–1609),
Italian painter. Zuccaro was active in England in 1573–4, where he painted Elizabeth and a number of her courtiers: the fact that Shakespeare was a child at the time did not deter certain 19th-century critics from identifying one of Zuccaro's English portraits as a likeness of the playwright.
