Ven etian school ; pupil of Girolamo Roniauino at Brescia, but went young to Venice to study the works of Titian. When about twenty years old he went to Rome, where his talent won him the friendship of Michelangelo and Taddeo Zucchero, with whom he painted many works. Muziano was superintendent of the decorations in the Vatican under Gregory XHL, and the founder of the Acad- emy of St. Luke, which he endowed at his death. He made drawings, begun by Giu- lio Romano, of the bas-relief.s on the column of Trajan, afterwards engraved. His works, of which he left a large number, exhibit a grandeur of design approaching that of Mi- chelangelo, whom he closely imitated. His compositions are good, and his colouring rich, after the Venetian manner. Blanc calls him a second-rate Sebastiano del Pi- ' ombo. He excelled as a designer of mosa- ics, many of which in St. Peter's, Rome, were executed after his designs. His best pictures are in Roman churches : Resurrec- tion of Lazarus, in S. M. Maggiore ; As- sumption of the Virgin, S. Paolo ; St. Fran- cis receiving the Stigmata, Cappuccini ; Con- ception of the Virgin, S. M. Transpontina ; Christ giving the Keys to St. Peter, and St. John preaching in the Desert, S. M. degli Angeli ; Circumcision, Gesh ; Ascension, Ara Cceli.
