Michele Alberti
b. 1530
Michele Alberti is a Mannerism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Capitoline Museums. Michele Alberti was born in Sansepolcro.
This Italian painter worked during the late 16th century, leaving behind a single major fresco that still stands today. Look closely at *Deliver of the Keys to Saint Peter* (1590), a scene from the Sistine Chapel that shows the moment when Christ hands the keys to heaven to Saint Peter. The painting follows the rules of perspective and light that artists of the time used to make scenes feel real. Tap to zoom in on the faces or the architecture in the background to see how the artist built depth.
