BASSANO, JACOPO DA PONTE (1510-1592)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 490 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAR-BEC
BASSANO, JACOPO DA PONTE (1510-1592) , Venetian painter, was born at
Bassano
 . He was educated by his father, who was himself an artist, and then completed his studies at Venice. On the death of his father he returned to
Bassano
  and settled there. His subjects were generally peasants and villagers, cattle and landscapes, with some portraits and historical designs. His figures are well designed, and his animals and landscapes have an agreeable air of simple nature. His compositions, though they have not much eloquence or grandeur, have abundance of force and truth; the local
colours
  are well observed, the flesh-tints are fresh and brilliant, and his chiaroscuro and
perspective
  are unexceptionable. He is said to have finished a
great
  number of pictures; but his genuine works are somewhat Tare and valuablemany of those which are called originals being copies either by the sons of Bassano or by others. Bassano's
style
  varied considerably during his lifetime. He naturally was at first a copier of his father, but his productions in this
style
  are not of
great
  value. He was then strongly attracted by the lightness and beautiful colouring of Titian, and finally adopted the style which is recognized as his own. Although he painted few great pictures, and preferred humble subjects, yet his altar-piece of the Nativity at Bassano is estimated highly by the best
judges
 , and in Lanzi's
opinion
  is the finest
work
  of its class.
