Cristoforo Agosta or Agosti or Augusta (Casalmaggiore, 16-17th century) was an Italian painter of the Mannerist style.

Biography

Agosta was a pupil of Giovanni Battista Trotti and active in Cremona.[1] The 18th-century art historian Giovanni Battista Zaist assigned to him the Marriage of Santa Caterina, once in the church of San Domenico in Cremona (now in the Pinacoteca of Cremona).[2][3]
