Life
Polidoro da Lanciano was born the son of the ceramicist Renzo. His year of birth is assumed to be 1515, since he described himself as fifty years old in his will of 1565. But it is also possible that he was born in 1510.
You don't know much about your youth or your education. He settled in Venice's San Pantaleone neighborhood in the mid-1920s. There was a community of immigrants from Abruzzo there.
He mainly made religious paintings for private clients. His works include The Supper of the Gods ( Naples , Museo di Capodimonte ), Christ and the Adulteress (versions of these are in Brescia , Pinacoteca Tosio-Martinengo; Budapest , Szépmüvészeti Múzeum; London , Walpole collection), Rest in Egypt with the boy St. John ( Paris , Louvre ), The Descent of the Holy Spirit (Venice, Gallerie dell'Accademia ) and The Holy Family with Saint Magdalena and a Venetian patrician ( Dresden , Gemäldegalerie ).
