Barsaiti, Marco

Barsaiti, Marco an eminent Italian painter, was a descendant of a Greek family of Friuli. He painted a picture of Christ Praying in the Garden, in the Church of St. Giobbe, in 1510, which was highly extolled by Ridolfi. There are a number of his works in the churches of Friuli, and one (The Vocation of St. Peter) in the Church of the Certosa, which Lanzi says is one of the most beautiful pictures of the age.
