order to adorn
that church, which had been reconstructed by him after the design of
Giulio Romano. Other works has Domenico executed in Verona, Vicenza,
and Venice, but it must suffice to have spoken of those named. He is
an honest and excellent craftsman, and, in addition to his painting,
he is a very fine musician, and one of the first in the most noble
Philharmonic Academy of Verona.

Not inferior to him will be his son Felice, who, although still young,
has proved himself a painter out of the ordinary in an altar-piece
that he has executed for the Church of the Trinita, in which are the
Madonna and six other Saints, all of the size of life. Nor is this any
marvel, for the young man learned his art in Florence, living in the
house of Bernardo Canigiani, a Florentine gentleman and a crony of his
father Domenico.

In the same Verona, also, lives Bernardino, called L'India, who,
besides many other works, has painted the Fable of Psyche in most
beautiful figures on the ceiling of a chamber in the house of Count
Marc'Antonio del Tiene. And he has painted another chamber, with
beautiful inventions and a lovely manner of painting, for Count
Girolamo of Canossa.

A much extolled painter, also, is Eliodoro Forbicini, a young man of
most beautiful genius and of considerable skill in every manner of
painting, but particularly in making grotesques, as may be seen in the
two chambers mentioned above and in other places where he has worked.

In like manner Battista da Verona, who is called thus, and not

rudiments of painting from an uncle at Verona, placed himself with the
excellent Tiziano in Venice, under whom he has become a very good
painter. When a young man, this Battista painted in company with
Paolino a hall in the Palace of the Paymaster and Assessor Portesco at
Tiene in the territory of Vicenza; where they executed a vast number
of figures, which acquired credit and repute for both the one and the
other. With the same Paolino he executed many works in fresco in the
Palace of the Soranza at Castelfranco, both having been sent to work
there by Michele San Michele, who loved them as his sons. And with
him, also, he painted the facade of the house of M. Antonio Cappello,
which is on the Grand Canal in Venice; and then, still together, they
painted the ceiling, or rather, soffit in the Hall of the Counci
