Painted in 1541 ; was in 1G21 in the Alcazar of Madrid, where it was injured by fii'e and repainted, so that little remains of Titian's handling.

Not to be confounded with his contemporary Jacopo degli Avanzii of Bologna. Worked at Verona and Padua, where he assisted Altichiero da Zevio in painting the frescos of the Chapel of S. Giorgio, and himself painted the frescos of S. Michele, Padua, which correspond in technic, though in- ferior in composition. To the same paint- er, who, with Altichiero, propagated the Gi- ottesque style in the north of Italy, may be attributed the fresco fragments of the Tri- umph of Marius in the Hall of the Em- peror, now Library, Padua.

Bolognese school ; imitated the second-hand followers of Giot- to, and combined ugly types, exaggeration of movement, and feeble execution. There are a Crucifixion by him in the Palazzo Co- lonua, Rome, and a Crucifixion and three damaged panel pieces in the Bologna Gal- lery ; also frescos at Mezzarata. He is not to be confounded with the above nor with Jacopo di Paolo Avanzi Bolognese, begin- ning of the 15th century, Padua. C. & C., Italy, ii. 212, 233 ; Bemasconi, Studj, v. 29 ; Vasari, ed.
