Description: (Painter)
Il Pordenone was an Italian Mannerist painter associated with the Venetian school, known for his speed and deliberate coarseness in execution. He painted in various cities in northern Italy and drew inspiration from High Renaissance masterpieces in Rome. Pordenone was commissioned for exterior building paintings alongside artists like Polidoro da Caravaggio. His work showcased a violent intensity akin to Goya, seen in fresco cycles at Cremona Cathedral and Scuola Grande della Carità in Venice. His influence extended to artists like Titian and Tintoretto.
