_Passignano_ (Florentine: 1558-1638).
Domenico Cresti, called Il Passignano from his native place,
a village near Florence, was a pupil of Zuccaro. Moving to
Venice, he studied for a while under Paolo Veronese, whose
works he greatly admired and whose manner he followed. His
facility and rapidity caused a play upon his surname, and he
was called "Passa ognuno."
The great astronomer (1564-1642) is represented with astrolabe, books,
diagram, and compasses.
