Bartolomeo Passarotti
(1529–92), Italian painter, born in Bologna, where he trained in the studio of Vignola. He lived in Rome from c. 1551to1565, working as an assistant to Taddeo Zuccaro; his Roman works include the Martyrdom of St Paul in the Church of San Paolo alle Tre Fontane. He returned to Bologna, where he continued to paint altarpieces (e.g. St Ursula with her Companions, Church of Santa Maria di Pietà, Bologna) and portraits of popes and cardinals (e.g. Pope Gregory XIII c.1572, Schlossmuseum Gotha). He also painted a large number of pictures in a sub-genre of his own invention, a conflation of genre and still life painting that depicted peasants with flowers and dead birds; these paintings include The Butcher's Shop, The Fishmonger's Shop, and The Dog Breeder, all in the Palazzo Barberini in Rome. Passarotti's pupils included Agostino Carracci.

Bartolomeo Passarotti (1529 – 1592) was an Italian painter of the mannerist period, who worked mainly in his native Bologna.
He traveled to Rome in the mid-16th century, where he worked under Girolamo Vignola and Taddeo Zuccari. Upon returning to Bologna, he accumulated 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 Passarotti's genre scenes in a select set of paintings (such as The Beaneater and The Butcher's Shop, the latter being originally attributed to Passarotti). Lucio Massari and Francesco Brizzi were among his pupils. Four of Passarotti's sons, including Ventura, Aurelio, Tiburzio, and Passarotto were painters.
His name is also spelled Passerotti or Passarotto.
