Girolamo Muziano (born in Acquafredda in 1532; died in Rome in 1592) trained as a landscape painter in Padua and Venice. In 1549 he moved to Rome, where he worked mainly as a painter of religious subjects following Michelangelo's idealised style; in 1560 became court painter to Cardinal Ippolito d'Este; a number of his landscape drawings with hermits were engraved by Cornelis Cort.
