He is ordinarily termed Il Bergamasco. He belongs, however, to the school of Genoa , but does not appear to have had any family relationship with the other two painters named Castello . He was employed to decorate the Nunziata Di Portoria in Genoa, the Salon of the Lanzi Palace at Gorlago , and the Pardo Palace in Spain . His best-known works are the ''Martyrdom of St. Sebastian'', and the picture of ''Christ as Judge of the World'' on one of the vaultings of the Annunziata . He was an Architect and Sculptor as well as painter. In 1567 he was invited to Madrid by Philip II , and there he died, holding the office of architect of the royal palaces. REFERENCES |
