Marcello Venusti is recorded in Rome in the 1540s in the workshop of Perino del Vaga. Towards the end of this decade, perhaps following Perino’s death in 1547, he came to the attention of Michelangelo Buonarotti. Venusti was to be one of three younger artists with whom the 75-year-old master chose to collaborate. Michelangelo provided help for these artists in the form of compositional drawings, rather as he had done for Sebastiano del Piombo in the 1510s (most notably in ‘The Raising of Lazarus’, fig. 1) at least initially to counteract Raphael’s dominance of the Roman art scene.
Michelangelo’s motivation was not jealousy of a rival (following Raphael’s death he had none), but a desire to disseminate his own inventions in paint, an art form he had abandoned.

Portrait of Michelangelo Buonarroti
zoom
Michelangelo was born on March 6, 1475 in Caprese near Arezzo, Tuscany, where his father was then working. Shortly, the family returned to Florence, a city which, for a long time, was to become Michelangelo’s home. He received his artistic training in the workshop of Domenico Ghirlandaio and acquainted himself with ancient sculpture from the rich collections in the de’ Medici Garden of San Marco. The powerful ruler Lorenzo Magnifico soon noticed the young man’s artistic talents and took him under his patronage. Rome was Michelangelo’s second most important place of residence. The papal city offered the artist outstanding commissions, in which he proved himself to an extent that surpassed all expectations. The engraving was made after a painted portrait by Marcello Venusti, which was a copy after an original portrait by Jacopino del Conte (around 1540). The print, however, seems to be made after 1564, the year of Michelangelo’s death.
