FALCONNETTO, GIOVANNI MARIA, born in Verona in 1458, died in Padua
in 1534. Neapolitan school. He was more noted in his time as an
architect than as a painter, and it has been said of him that he was
overrated as an architect and underrated as a painter. The figures
in some of his early frescos are correct neither in action nor in
outline, and without style in draperies; but his later pictures,
especially the religious allegories executed in 1509–16 for S.
Pietro Martire, Verona, are less deformed by mannerism, and show
affinity with Liberale and Pisano. The last of his life was devoted
to architecture, chiefly at Pavia.--C. & C., N. Italy, i. 469;
Burckhardt, 606.

FARINATI, PAOLO, born in Verona in 1524, died in 1606. Venetian
school. He belonged to a famous Florentine family, the Farinati degli
Uberti, who in the 13th century were at the head of the Ghibellines
of Florence. Dispersed by the Guelphs, a branch of the family settled
in Verona, where Paolo became its most distinguished member. His
first master was Niccolò Giolfino, on leaving whom he is said to have
gone to Venice to study Giorgione and Titian; but his style resembles
rather that of Giulio Romano than that of either of those masters,
and it is certain that he spent some time in Mantua, where he painted
a St. Martin for the chapel of the Sacrament in the Duomo. Ten of
his pictures are in the Museum at Verona. In S. Maria in Organo are
four, of which the Massacre of the Innocents is dated 1566, and in
S. Anastasia two, one of which, a Christ between SS. Peter and Paul,
is dated 1589. In S. Giorgio Maggiore is the Multiplication of the
Loaves, painted in 1603, when Paolo was seventy-nine years old. Other
examples of his work are in the Duomo, in S. Giovanni in Fonte, in S.
Pietro in Monasterio, in S. Tommaso, in S. Nazzaro e Celso, and in
the Palazzi Carlotti, Serego, and Murari. Farinati painted much in
fresco. His son and pupil, Orazio, was also a history painter; works

FATTORE, IL, born in Florence 1488 (?), died in Naples 1528 (?).
Umbrian school. Real name Giovanni Francesco Penni, but commonly
called as above because he was Raphael’s journeyman (fattore). Next

master in the Vatican and in the Farnesina frescos, and he painted
the greater part of the celebrated Cartoons from Raphael’s designs.
He made copies of Raphael’s Transfiguration and Entombment, the
former of which is in the Sciarra Colonna Gallery, Rome. Raphael’s
Visitation, Madrid Museum, and Madonna del Passeggio, Bridgewater
Gallery, are attributed to Penni, after Raphael’s designs. His St.
