(1578--1644) was an Italian painter, mostly of landscapes and seascapes. Because he aspired to nobility he modified the details of his early life. Though he was born in Perugia he claimed to have been born in Rome. His family name was Buonamici, but Agostino adopted the surname Tassi to give substance to his story that he was adopted by the Marchese Tassi. He was actually the son of a furrier named Domenico.  Related Paintings of Agostino Tassi :. | The Body of the Dead Christ in the Tomb and a detail | Portrat of a cavalier with Plerd and Reitknecht | Merode Altarpiece | Higurashi sun's Glastre Hong Kong | Dance in the Country |
