BECCAFUMI, DOMENICO, born near Si- ena in 1486, died in Siena, May 18, i 1551. Sienese school; son of Gi- acomo di Pace, a labourer in the service of Loren- zo Beccafunii, by whom he was ap- prenticed to the painter G. B. Tozzo, called Ca- panna, and whose surname he adopted ; also called Mecuccio or Me- cherino, on account of his insignificant appearance. Domenico may have met Pe- rugiuo in Siena in 1508, and have felt his influence. In Rome, where he spent about two years (1510-1512), he became enamoured of the works of Michelangelo, whom he afterwards weakly imitated. On his return to Siena (1512) he competed with Sodoma with credit to himself, though he cannot be justly compared with that great artist. His style became more and more mannered as he advanced in life. The earliest and perhaps the best of his works is the St. Catherine Receiving the Stigmata (1512) and Saints, Siena Gallery ; other works are the Marriage and Death of the Virgin, frescos (1518), S. Bernardino, Siena ; Visitation, Hospital, Siena ; Nativity (1523), S. Martiuo, Siena ; Marriage of St 117
