SPAGNA, LO (d. c. 1529)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 527 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SOU-STE
SPAGNA, LO (d. c. 1529) , the usual designation (due to his Spanish origin) of the Italian painter Giovanni di Pietro, one of the
chief
  followers of Perugino. The famous " Sposalizio "
marriage
  of Joseph and Maryin the Caen museum, formerly attributed to Perugino (q.v.), is now credited to Lo
Spagna
 . Nothing whatever is known of his early
life
 , or how he became a member of the Perugian school. There is. a marked
absence
  of individuality about his style, which seems like an imitation of the earliest manner of
Raphael
  and that of
Pinturicchio
  in a weaker and less virile form. The
chief
  of his numerous
panel
  paintings are the " Nativity," in the Vatican, and the " Adoration of the Magi," at Berlin. In 1510 Lo
Spagna
  executed many frescoes at Todi, and in 1512 several other mural paintings in and near Trevi. His most important works were frescoes at Assisi and Spoleto, of which some exist in good preservation. He received the freedom of the city of Spoleto in 1516, as a reward for his
work
  there. Lo Spagna's frescoes reach a much higher standard of merit than his
panel
  pictures. The museum of the Capitol in Rome now possesses a very beautiful
series
  of
life
 -sized fresco figures by him, representing Apollo and the
Nine Muses. Lo Spagna was alive in 1528, but he appears to have died before 1530, as in that year a pupil of his named Doni completed a fresco in S. Jacopo, near Spoleto, which Lo Spagna had begun.
