Son of Antonio di Benedetto degli Aquili known as Antoniazzo Romano (c. 1430/1435 - Rome, April 17, 1508) was born, probably, in Rome in the second half of the 15th century. A pupil of his father, an influential painter of the Roman Renaissance. He inherited his father's style in which the lessons of Domenico Ghirlandaio, Melozzo da Forlì and Perugino, with whom Antoniazzo collaborated, can be glimpsed. Marcantonio's remarkable painting qualities often lead scholars to attribute his works to his father, as in the case of the aforementioned Resurrection in the Museo Civico di Narni.
