Federico Zuccari. Angel Holding a Trumpet, 1576/79. Inventory 1968.679. Attributed to Federico Zuccaro (?); Art Institute of Chicago. Collection credit: Gift of Mr. and Mrs. James W. Alsdorf. CC0 1.0 (https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/). https://www.artic.edu/artworks/30460. Full-frame proportional resize and JPEG compression. Existing creator authority Q345605 explicitly identifies Chicago artist 40899 and NGA constituent 2812. Local biography years remain 1539 / 1609; Chicago's numeric person fields remain 1540 / 1609, with object display 'Federico Zuccaro (?)\nItalian, 1540/41-1609'. NGA's date wording 'Roman, 1542/1543 - 1609' is retained separately. These source assertions identify the same creator through explicit identifiers and names; no biography or creator link is changed. The museum explicitly records Federico Zuccaro (?). The image credit and accessible text preserve this uncertainty; attaching the exact object photograph does not validate or publish an unqualified attribution.
