Lombard school ; real name probably Ste- fano Falzagalloni ; pupil of Squarcione. His decorations of a chapel in S. Antonio, Padua, mentioned in 1445 by Michele Sa- vonarola as a marvel of art, were destroyed in 1500. He also painted the Madonna del Pilastro on one of the pillars of the same church. Two pictures attributed to him in Brera, Milan : one, Madonna with Saints, is in the manner of Turn ; the other, Madonna Enthroned between Saints, is rather attrib- utable to Rondinello. C. & C., N. Italy, i. 528; Vasari, ed. Le Mon., v. 179 ; ed. Mil., iii. 407 ; Lanzi, iii. 189 ; Ch. Blanc, tfcole ferraraise. STEFANO DI GIOVANNI, first half of 15th century. Sienese school ; commonly known as Sassetta. He imitated the formal arrangement, painful minuteness of out- lines, and the softer curves of draperies which distinguish Ugolino and Segua. The Birth of the Virgin, in the sacristy of the Duomo at Asciano, the Madonna with Saints (1436), in the Osservanza outside Siena, and a similar one, in S. Domenico, Cortona, are by him. C. & C., Italy, iii. 74. STEFANO DA VERONA. See Stefano da Zevio. STEFANO DA ZEVIO, the elder, flour- ished in latter part of 14th century. Veron- ese school ; painted frescos in the choir of tli e Basilica of S. Zevio, Verona ; Crucifixion, near the door of the sacristy there ; Madonna Enthroned (fresco), over an altar in the church at Illasi. Bernascoui, 220. STEFANO DA ZEVIO, the younger, born at Zevio, near Verona, in 1393, died in 1450. Veronese school ; called also Ste- fano da Verona. He was the contemporary and perhaps pupil of Vittor Pisano, but he was far from equalling him in grace, draw- ing, and expression. He is praised by Va- sari, but the examples he has left show that he followed in the beaten track of the min- iaturists, and cared more for minute finish than for drawing and modelling. Works : Fresco, Madonna and Saints, Casa Sona, Verona ; Prophets, etc., over small door, S. Eufemia, Verona ; Adoration of the Magi (1435), Brera, Milan. C. & C., N. Italy, i. 458 ; Vasari, ed. Le Mon., vi. 86 ; Lanzi, ii. 88 ; Bernasconi, 226. sti
