Venetian painter, born at Conegliano. He was fond of depicting the saints and the blessed Virgin, and his work is greatly praised by Ruskin for serenity of expression and careful attention to details. Most of his work is found in Venetian churches, but specimens may be seen in the National Gallery, London, and in the gallery of the Louvre. Among his most famous paintings are St. John the Baptist, in the Church of the Madonna del Orto, Venice; Baptism of Christ, and St. Helena with the Cross, both in the Church of St. John, Venice; and Virgin and Child.
