Vitali, Alessandro

Vitali, Alessandro an Italian painter, was born at Urbino in 1580. He was instructed by Federigo Baroccio, who assisted him in some of his best Works. He copied the Annunciation of Loreto, by Baroccio, with such success that it might easily be mistaken for the original. His St. Agnes, inn the cathedral, and St. Augustine, in the Church of the Eremitani, at Urbino, are among his best works. He died in 1630. See Spooner, Biog. Hist. of the Fine Arts, s.v.
