Giovanni Antonio da Pordenone
Il Pordenone (* around 1484 in Pordenone , † January 14, 1539 in Ferrara ; also de Corticellis , incorrectly called Licinio , actually Giovanni Antonio da Pordenone ) was an Italian painter.
Life
Pordenone was based on the models of his Friulian homeland and did not assume the influence of Giorgione and Antonio Palma until around 1510 , without, however, giving up his coarse handling of forms and his inclination for dramatic representations. In 1535 he moved to Venice, and in the same year he was raised to the nobility by the King of Hungary, which is why he took the nickname Regillo.
Appointed in 1538 by Duke Ercole II. D'Este to his court in Ferrara , he died there in January 1539.
A relative of his was Bernardino Licinio da Pordenone , who was active from 1524 to 1542 and preferably painted portraits that are recognizable by the reddish flesh.
