 MORONI [olourist. netian school ; son of Domenico Morone, whom lie served some time as an assistant ; afterward sail in- dependent mas- ter of large prac- tice, gaining a name sec on d only to that of Morando.

Bernar- dino (1498) ; Virgin with Trinity and Saints, Verona Museum ; Virgin enthroned with Saints (1503) ; Altar-piece, S. M. dell' Orga- no ; do., Brera, Milan ; do., Duomo, Trent. His masterpieces arc ill the sacristy at S. M. dell' Organo, where the walls and ceiling are filled with incidents adapted from Man- togna's in ihc Camera de Sposi at Mantua. This sacristy is one of the grand monuments of local art in the Venetian provinces, sec- ond only to Mantcgna's creations in the use of perspective and foreshortening, and in the geometrical distribution of the space. Morone's Madonna and Saints, on the walls of a house near the Ponte delle Navi, Verona, painted in 1515, indicates a long and care- [FRANCISCVS ful study of the best masterpieces of Man- tegna.

Venetian school ; pupil of Moretto, and one of the most successful followers of his style, says Tassi ; but, though he was an admirable colourist, his pictures are unequal in inven- tion and design to those of his master.
