PORDENONE, GIOVANNI ANTONIO
LICINIO DA,
born at Pordenone
in 1483, died at
Ferrara in 1539.
Venetian school.
He bore many
names. About
1517 he assumed
the title of De
Corticellis or Cuticelli,
from his
father's native village near Brescia; afterwards
called Sacchiensis or De Sacchis,
and lastly Regillo or Licinio. His descendants
took the name of Regillo. A pupil
of Pellegrino, he learned at Venice to imitate
Palma and Giorgione, and in his subsequent
career acquired something from
Correggio, Titian, Raphael, and Michelangelo.
At his best he remained second to
Titian, and when careless he sank to a still
lower level. Pordenone executed many
frescos in Friulian churches, most of which
have greatly suffered from time and by restoration.
In 1528 he went to Venice and
decorated the tribune of S. Rocco with
frescos, no longer extant. Two pictures
on panels by him are in this church: St.
Martin and St. Christopher. The next year
Pordenone painted several compositions in
chapels of the Madonna di Campagna, Piacenza,
now much injured, and subsequently
executed frescos in the palace of Andrea
Doria, Genoa, and in S. Pietro, Treviso.
He also finished a Trinity for Santissima
Trinità, San Daniele, and began for the Duomo
of Pordenone an altarpiece, Glory of
St. Mark, which, though unfinished, shows
great talent. In 1535 King John of Hungary
sent him a patent of knighthood; and
