Agostino's early work demonstrates the influence of the Venetian painters Tintoretto and Paolo Veronese. He subsequently followed the lead of his brother de él Annibale, who he helped decorate the Galleria of the Palazzo Farnese in Rome from 1597 to 1599. In the latter year Agostino left Annibale to serve as court painter for Ranuccio Farnese in Parma; he died there without completing his own major endeavor in fresco, the decoration of a room in the Palazzo del Giardino. Agostino's painterly style was not as dynamic or as proficient as that of his brother. Engraving formed a major part of his output from him from 1580, however.
