(1578--1644) was an Italian painter, mostly of landscapes and seascapes. Because he aspired to nobility he modified the details of his early life. Though he was born in Perugia he claimed to have been born in Rome. His family name was Buonamici, but Agostino adopted the surname Tassi to give substance to his story that he was adopted by the Marchese Tassi. He was actually the son of a furrier named Domenico.  Related Paintings of Agostino Tassi :. | Stephen Bethory at Pskov | plate of pears | Cristoph Wilibald von Gluck at the Spinet | Novella di Nastagio degli Onesti (mk36) | Maryrdom of St.James the Great |
