GIULIO ROMANO, born in Rome in 1492, died in Mantua, Nov. 1, 1546.
Real name Giulio Pippi de’ Giannuzzi, but called Romano from his
birthplace. Umbrian school; became the assistant of Raphael when
quite young, and with Il Fattore and Pellegrino da Modena aided him
in the decoration of the Vatican. He was Raphael’s favourite pupil
and was, with Il Fattore, his heir and art executor. He painted
frescos in Rome in the Villa Lanti, in the Villa Madama, which he
built, and in Trinità de’ Monti. Having fulfilled his duties towards
Raphael by finishing his incomplete works in the Vatican, and in
painting, with Il Fattore, the Assumption which Raphael had promised
to the Convent of Monteluce, now in the Vatican, he went (1524) to
Mantua and entered the service of Duke Federigo Gonzaga. There he
directed works in architecture as well as in painting, having under
him many scholars and assistants. While under Raphael’s care he was
a close imitator of his style; but when left to himself his taste
soon became depraved, and he was largely responsible for the decay
of Italian art. Among his works in Mantua are frescos in the Palazzo
del Tè, which he built. They represent the Defeat of the Giants, and
the History of Cupid and Psyche, the latter with a licentious freedom
of treatment which ill accords with the traditions of the school
in which he was bred. He also painted other frescos in the Uffizio
della Scaccheria and in several churches in Mantua. In 1546 he was
chosen architect of St. Peter’s, Rome, as successor to Sansovino, and
was about to set out for that city when he died. Among the best of
his few easel pictures are: _Madonna_ del Bacino, Pan and the young
Olympus, Dresden Gal.; Martyrdom of St. _Stephen_, S. Stefano, Genoa;
Madonna, Sacristy of St. Peter’s, Rome; Julius II. (copy of Raphael),
Fornarina (copy of the Barberini picture), Venus, Borghese, Rome;

as master in 1210, and still living at Pisa in 1255. Frescos by him
or by artists of his school are in S. Pietro in Grado, near Pisa. He
is said to have painted in 1236, in the upper church of S. Francesco
Assisi, a Crucifixion with Father Elias. Other pictures in the
Academy, and in the Campo Santo at Pisa, are ascribed both to him and
to Cimabue.--C. & C., Italy, i. 166; Lübke, Gesch. ital. Mal., i. 86;

worked under Neri di Bicci in 1458–59, with Fra Filippo in 1460, and
assisted Benozzo Gozzoli in the Campo Santo, Pisa. His style is a
mixture of that of Fra Filippo and of Gozzoli, but inferior to both.
By him are, perhaps, a Madonna and Saints in S. Gimignano Gallery
(attributed to Gozzoli); do. in S. Girolamo, Volterra; do. in Gallery
Comunale, Prato; do. in Florence Academy.--C. & C., Italy, ii. 516;
