According to Giovanni Baglione the artist was given the name Antiveduto ("foreseen") because his father had a premonition that he would soon be born during a journey between his native Siena and Rome. It was in Rome that Antiveduto was baptised, raised and based his career.
His apprenticeship with the Perugian artist Giovanni Domenico Angelini (Giandomenico Perugino)[1] introduced him to small-scale work, mostly on copper. He gained the nickname "gran Capocciante" because he specialised in painting heads of famous men.
A decade later, in 1591, Antiveduto set up as an independent artist.
