| biography:
| Painter and possible founder of the Veronese School, born near Verona, N Italy. He worked in Verona and also in Padua, where he painted frescoes (1372–9) in the Basilica of S Antonio, which include a Crucifixion and scenes from the life of St James, and in the Oratory of S Giorgio (1377–84), which depict scenes from the lives of St George and other saints. This work combines the solid Realism of Giotto with a new Gothic elegance typical of the later 14th-c. In S Giorgio he shared the work with a painter called Jacopo Avanzo. |
