| biography:
| Venetian decorative painter, born in Verona, N Italy. He worked at Verona and Mantua, then settled in Venice (1555), where he came to rank with Titian and Tintoretto. The Church of San Sebastiano in Venice contains many pictures of the period before his visit to Rome (1560). His major paintings include ‘The Marriage Feast at Cana’ (1562–3, Louvre), ‘The Adoration of the Magi’ (1573, National Gallery, London), and ‘Feast in the House of the Levi’ (1573, Venice), which brought him before the Inquisition for trivializing religious subjects. |
