POCCETTI, BERNARDINO BARBATELLI, detto il. - Painter, also called Bernardino delle Facciate, delle Muse and delle Grottesche, b. in Florence in 1548, d. there on 9 Nov. 1612.

In 1580 and 1585 he worked in Florence in the great cloister of S. Maria Novella; between 1591 and 1606 he painted in Florence in the charterhouse of Galluzzo and executed frescoes in S. Spirito, S.

The oil self-portrait of P. is found in the Pitti Gallery of Florence.
