 118 PALMA— PANETTI. ordinaxy models for these subjects. His draperies flow in rich and ample folds ; his colouring is harmonious and glowing, like that of Giorgione, but with a prevailing yellow tone in the flesh; and his works are very highly finished.

He was the scholar of Melozzo da Forli, and according to Lanzi his early works were in the diy and formal manner of the Quattro- eetUisH, with abundance of gilding; while his later productions displayed piare skill in the grouping and more freedom of execution; yet with a grace and a finish approach- ing Francia. He was, however, in the habit of disregarding the dra- matic unities ; and introduced accessory groups that had no relation with the principal. In the Brera at Milan are three pictures by Palmezzano— the Nativity; the Madonna and Child, with St. Peter and other Saints ; and the Coronation of the Yirgin. Also at Forli, in the Duomo, is a picture re- presenting the Last Supper, and in the Berlin Gallery are two pictures, one of the Yirgin and Child, with Saints, signed Marcus PalmezzanuSt Pictar Foroliorensis ; and a small pic- ture of Christ bearing his Cross, with a similar signature, and the date 1503.

The figures finequentlj introduced into his works were inserted by Ercole Graziani : his pictures, com- monly views of ruins, are to be met with in Rome and Bologna; and at Yienna, where he dwelt some time. PANETTI, Domenico, b, at Fer- rara, 1460, d, about 1530. Ferrarese School. The early works of 4his pain- ter resemble those of the oldest Fer- rarese masters, but without their fan- tastic tendency; and according to
