 122 PELLEGRINO— PERANDA. b, about 1480, d. abont 1545. Venetian School. Scholar of Gio. Bellini, who bestowed the name of Pellegrino on him, on account of his talents, or per- haps, rather perseverance ; his name was Martino : so says Yasari, who has slightly noticed Pellegrino in his Life of Pordenone. His name of San Danielle is derived firom his having settled and married in that place. His pictures are painted with great care, and his figures are dignified and grace- ful in their attitudes. He painted in the style of Bellini, and in his best works resembles Giorgione. He is one of the principal painters of the Friuli, second only to Pordenone : his proper name seems to have been Pel- legrino da Udine. The history of his works is given in detail by Count Mainago : Storia delle Belle Arti Friu- lane. Udine, 1823. Works. Udine, cathedral, Holy Fa- mily. San Daniello, church of Sant' Antonio, frescoes representing scenes from the Life of Christ (1497-1622), Pellegrino*s principal works — Cividale, Santa Maria de Battudi, the Virgin, with Saints (1529). PELLEGRINO, DA MoDBNA. [Mu- Kabi.] PENNACHI, PiERHARiA, painted in 1520. Venetian School. A scholar of Giovanni Bellini, and one of those who entered into the spirit of the cinque- cento, and attempted an enlargement of style with considerable success. Works, Venice, Santa Maria de' Miracoli, frescoes of the ceiling: San Francesco della Vigna, the Annuncia- tion : Santa Maria della Salute (in the sacristy), a Madonna. Berlin Gallery, Christ mourned by two Angels ; marked Petrus Maria Tarvino P. {Zanetti.) PENNI, GiAN Francesco, called II Fattobe, b, at Florence about 1488, d. ftt Naples, 1528. Roman School. After Giulio Romano, Penni was the fa- vourite scholar of Raphael ; he assisted him in the Vatican frescoes, and more than any other in the cartoons for the tapestries. He executed the Stories of Abraham and Isaac in the Loggia, and worked afterwards, in conjunction with Giulio Romano, in the completion of the frescoes in the Hall of Constantine, where he painted the Baptism of Con- stantine by Sfim Silvestro, and, accord- ing to some, Constantine's donation of Rome to that Pontiff, attributed other- wise to Raffaellino del CoUe. He as- sisted Ukewise in the Famesina. He and Giulio Romano were coheirs of Raphael's effects in objects of art. His own works are unimportant, as nearly the whole of his short life was occu- pied in carrying out the designs of Raphael. His name of II Fattora he acquired from being articled or appren- ticed to Raphael in his youth. He re- sided latterly at Naples, but died not long after he settled there, and his works are not often to be met with. Passavant and Eugler attribute to Penni the Madonna del Pass^gio, in the Bridgewater Gallery. He copied several of Raphael's c^ebrated oil pictures, as the Transfiguration in the Sciarra Palace at Rome. Two original pictures by Penni, from the Borghese Gallery, Hope and Chari^, are in the Hope and Neeld collections in London. Lanzi notices Penni's ex- cellence in landscapes; that is, of course, for backgrounds. Luca Penni is said to have been the brother of Gianfrancesco : he also assisted Ra* phael and Perino del Vaga.
