Pompeo Morganti
Italian painter
Pompeo Morganti, also known as Pompeo da Fano (circa 1494 - 1568) was an Italian painter, active in the Marche.
He was born in Fano, the son of the painter Bartolomeo Morganti, also known as Bartolomeo di Matteo de' Marescalchi. Pompeo contributed a somewhat ghostly painting depicting the Apparition of the Virgin for the Sanctuary of the Beata Vergine delle Grazie in Montegridolfo.[1][2][3] Vasari mentions that he (Pompeo da Fano) was briefly the teacher of Taddeo Zuccaro,[4] while others mention his father Ottaviano. He painted a Raising Lazarus and St Michael defeats Satan, now in the museum of the Art gallery of Fano.[5]
