brother-in-law, Perino del Vaga, in Genoa, Lucca, and other cities in Italy, and then with Il Rosso at Fontainebleau. Thence he went to England, where he was employed by Henry VIII. He had considerable talent, though his compositions are often confused. His infants are pretty, but his female figures lack the simplicity of those of Raphael. His landscape backgrounds are carefully finished. A Holy Family by him is in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence.—Ch. Blanc, École ombrienne; Vasari, ed. Le Mon., viii. 244; ix. 291; Seguier, 149.
