Venetian painter, painted portraits, religious and mythological works, landscapes. He was strongly influenced by Giorgione and his teacher, Titian (despite disliking the latter intensely). He worked for King Francis I of France; an important member of the first Fontainebleau School. His works, for all their realism and thoroughness of execution, demonstrate a problem with anatomy and perspective
