MORO, BATTISTA ANGELI DEL, born
about 1530, died in Rome about 1610.
Venetian school; proper name Battista Angeli,
but took the name del Moro when he
became the heir of his father-in-law and
master, Francesco Torbido, called Il Moro.
As a painter he lacked originality, being an
eclectic imitator of all the great painters of
his time, but he won a considerable reputation,
and worked in Venice and in Mantua
in concurrence with Paolo Veronese. He
painted also many frescos in Verona. Vasari
says he excelled as a painter of miniatures,
and he was an engraver of much merit.
He was aided in his works by his son, Marco
del Moro, who died young at Rome after
1586. Battista had also two brothers, Giulio
(died after 1618), a mediocre painter,
sculptor, and architect, and Girolamo dell'
Angelo (died 1622).—Ch. Blanc, École vénitienne;

MORO, IL. See Torbido.
MORONE, DOMENICO, born in Verona
in 1442, died after 1508. Venetian school;
called by his townsmen Pelacano (Tanner),
on account of his father's occupation. Registered
among Veronese burghers in 1491;
educated in the school of Pisanello, but developed
a broader style; commissioned to
paint library of Convent of S. Bernardino in
1503, and doors of the organ (1483), still
extant, and frescos in S. M. in Organo in
1508. He was a fair second-rate representative
of his art in the 15th century, but,
taken in connection with his son, Francesco,
he gave an impulse to Veronese art, developing
a new and powerful style based on the
precepts of Mantegna, though without servile
imitation.—C. & C., N. Italy, i. 486;
