The Palace and Park by Phillips, Forbes, Latham, Owen, Scharf, and Shenton

Painter._ [Born at Rome, 1499. Died at Mantua, 1546. Aged 47.] A pupil of Raffaelle, by whom he was employed on works at the Vatican. Invited by the Marquis of Mantua to the city of that name, where he was raised to the rank of nobility, provided with a house, a salary of 500 gold ducats, board for himself and his pupils, a horse, and some yards of silk velvet and cloth for clothing. Built many palaces in Mantua, and painted much in fresco. His later works are wanting in grace and purity, and display wildness and even coarseness. Yet he has a memorable name as one of the Roman school of art. [This bust is by Alessandro d’Este.]
