and the fellow-pupil of Francesco Morone, when Francesco was the partner of his father. Vasari thinks that had he lived he would have acquired great celebrity. While his pictures show the influence of the Moroni, they have an individual stamp; and he may justly claim to have infused new life into the Veronese school, especially by his novel system of colouring. His latest altar-*piece, the Madonna in Glory with Saints, dated 1522, is in the Verona Gallery, where are also his Christ bearing his Cross, St. Thomas, and St. Roch. His Madonna, in the National Gallery, London, painted about 1520, recalls the madonnas of Raphael.—C. & C., N. Italy, i. 498; Vasari, ed.
