GIOVANNI D'ASCIANO, of Siena, born in Asciano, flourished latter part of 14th century. Sienese school; pupil of Barna, and a weak imitator of his style. He finished the frescos in the church at S. Gimignano, begun by his master. Vasari says he executed paintings in the hospital of Siena, and in the ancient palace of the Medici, Florence, which gave him reputation, but they are all lost.—C. & C., Italy, ii. 110; iii. 62; Vasari, ed. Le Mon., ii. 163.

GIOVANNI DI MARTINI DA UDINE, born latter half 15th century, died at Udine, Aug. 30, 1535. Venetian school. Son of Martino da Tolmezzo, a carver of Udine, and called Martini to distinguish him from his cousin, Giovanni Mione. Pupil of Luigi Vivarini, but how long he was in Venice is not known. Had returned to Udine in 1497, where he resided until his decease, his later days being principally devoted to carving. As a painter he imitated Luigi Vivarini's early style, and in many respects he recalls Jacopo da Valentia. Works: Madonna (1498), Museo Civico, Venice; St. Mark Enthroned (1501), Cathedral, Udine; others in the Spilimberg Cathedral, and in the Brera, Milan.—C. & C., N. Italy, ii. 182; Lübke, Gesch. ital. Mal., ii. 582.

GIOVANNI DA MILANO, born in Milan in 14th century. Florentine school. Real name Giovanni Jacobi; long an assistant to Taddeo Gaddi; settled at Florence in 1366. He made no advancement in composition beyond Taddeo, but he was less conventional than his master, and more finished and elaborate in execution. His earliest extant picture, a Bewailing of Christ, in the Florence Academy, dated 1365, shows excessive conscientiousness, but lacks elevation. A larger and more important picture is the Virgin Enthroned, Municipal Gallery, Prato. An altarpiece in five compartments, in the Uffizi, Florence, and the frescos of scenes from the story of the Virgin and Mary Magdalen, in the Rinuccini Chapel, S. Croce, are also by this painter.—C. & C., Italy, i. 402; Lübke, Gesch. ital. Mal., i. 143; Vasari, ed. Le Mon., ii. 115, 179; ed. Mil., i. 572; W. & W., i. 455.

GIOVANNI DI PAOLO, died about 1481. Sienese school. Commonly called del Poggio. On the roll of Sienese artists in 1428; in the service of Sano di Pietro in 1447.
