| biography:
| Painter, decorative artist, and architect, born in Udine, NE Italy. He entered the workshop of Raphael in Rome, and became a specialist in a style of decoration called ‘grotesque’, influenced by the graceful ornamental schemes being discovered in the excavations of ancient Rome. He later moved back to Udine and, by 1552, was in charge of all public building there. His decorative style rapidly spread throughout Europe, and was especially popular during the Neoclassical period of the 18th-c. |
