Roselli (Or Rosselli), Matteo,

an Italian painter, descended from the preceding, was born at Florence in 1578. He studied under Gregorio Pagani, and after the death of his master finished several of his uncompleted pictures. He decorated the Clementine Chapel. Some of his paintings are, the Manger, the Trinity, the Crucifixion of St. Andrew, and St. Elizabeth of Hungary. His frescos are superior to his other paintings, five of the best of which are in the cloister of the Annunciation. He died in 1650.
