Lazzaro Tavarone

Lazzaro Tavarone (1556 - 1641) was an Italian painter of the late-Renaissance and Mannerist period, active mainly in Genoa and Spain. He was the pupil of the painter Luca Cambiaso. Tavarone accompanied Cambiaso to Spain, and helped decorate the Escorial for the Spanish King, including the chaotic battle painting of Battle of Higueruela. He returned to Genoa in 1594, where he became well known both as portrait and history painter. He painted a Martyrdom of San Lorenzo in the cathedral of Genoa. He also painted frescoes in the Palazzos Saluzzi and Adorni. He painted frescoes on the Life of Sant’Ambrogio for the Oratorio di Sant’Ambrogio.
