Bartolomeo Passerotti was an Italian painter of the mannerist style, who worked mainly in his native Bologna. He was known for his unusual style, including painting grotesque caricatures of peasants.

He traveled to Rome in the mid-1500s, where he worked under Girolamo Vignola and Taddeo Zuccari. Upon returning to Bologna, he acummulated a large studio, and influenced many Bolognese who would later play a role in the rise of the Baroque. Annibale Carracci (whose brother Agostino studied with Passarotti) was influenced by Passerotti’s genre scenes in a select set of paintings. Lucio Massari was one of his pupils. Bothe Passerotti’s sons, including Ventura (1566-1618) were painters.
