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.
