Michelangelo Maestri
![Michelangelo Maestri, after Raffaello Sanzio, called Raphael, ''A group of six allegorical female figures, five hours of the night, one hour of the day'', set of 6, gouache on paper, each approx. 42 x 31 cm](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4b/Michelangelo_Maestri%2C_A_group_of_six_allegorical_female_figures%2C_five_hours_of_the_night%2C_one_hour_of_the_day%2C_set_of_6%2C_gouache_on_paper%2C_each_approx._42_x_31_cm.jpg)
Some of his most famous gouaches portray putti leading animals on a chariot and were inspired by ceiling frescoes in the salone of Villa Lante, on the Janiculum Hill in Rome. Francesco Piranesi and Tommaso Piroli published these frescoes in a series of engravings in 1805 and attributed each drawing to Giulio Romano. Maestri probably knew the engravings as his inscriptions beneath the framing lines (describing the different types of love) are similar to those reported by Piranesi and Piroli. Provided by Wikipedia
