He was trained in the culture of late Mannerism, with a naturalistic but also calligraphic taste, acquired by frequenting Giovanni Stradano, with whom he collaborated on the decoration of Palazzo Vecchio.
Moving to Rome in 1573, he worked for Pope Gregory XIII realizing some maps in the Room of Geographical Maps in the Vatican, including the famous Map of Rome (1593). In the papal capital he worked for many noble families and for important cardinals such
as Alessandro Farnese and Scipione Borghese.He returned to Florence for a short stay, where he collaborated with Alessandro Allori, Ludovico Buti, Giovan Maria Butteri and Ludovico Cigoli on the decoration of the ceilings of the Uffizi Gallery on the east side,
executed with grotesque designs. Moving back to Rome he devoted himself more and more to engraving, with which he achieved wide fame and diffusion throughout Europe. He famous the 150 Old Testament illustrations known as the Tempest Bible.
He was also a good draftsman, gifted with a particularly scenographic vein, and other artists printed and disseminated his work in drawing.

Antonio Tempesta
Antonio Tempesta was born and trained in Florence and painted in a variety of styles, influenced to some degree by Counter-Maniera or Counter-Mannerism. He enrolled in the Florentine Accademia delle Arti del Disegno in 1576. He was a pupil of Santi di Tito, then of the Flemish painter Johannes Stradanus. He was part of the large team of artists working under Giorgio Vasari on the interior decoration of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence.
