BORDONE, PARIS, born in Treviso, in
1500, died in Venice, Jan. 19, 1570. Venetian
school; of a noble family; pupil of Titian,
under whom he gave promise early
of great ability. Afterward studied the
works of Giorgione, whom he imitated
rather than Titian. He excelled especially
in portraits, his
heads being
inferior only to
those of Titian.
His flesh tints
are wonderfully
brilliant, but
in taste and
quality of touch
he was inferior
to either Titian
or Paolo Veronese.
His landscape backgrounds are generally
classical and elegant. In 1538 he
went to Paris, at the invitation of Francis I.,
or, as some say, in 1559, at that of Francis
II., and painted the principal personages of
the court. The most important of his works
are: The Fisherman presenting the Ring
of St. Mark to the Doge, and the Tiburtine
Sibyl, Venice Academy; Baptism of Christ,
Brera, Milan; Altarpiece and Madonna and
Saints, Berlin Museum; Diana, Apollo, and
Marsyas, Dresden Gallery; Madonna and
Saints, Hermitage, St. Petersburg; Daphnis
and Chloe, National Gallery, London. There
are portraits by Bordone
in the Uffizi and Pitti,
Florence; and in the Louvre,
Munich, Vienna, and
other galleries.—Ch. Blanc,
