LORENZO DA PAVIA. See Fasolo, Lorenzo.

LORENZO DA SAN SEVERINO, born in 1374, died in (?). Umbrian school; earliest example, a much injured Marriage of St. Catherine, dated 1400, in San Severino. In 1416, with the aid of his brother Jacopo, Lorenzo decorated the oratory of S. Giovanni Battista, Urbino, with a Crucifixion, and incidents in the Baptist's life. The figures in these frescos are exaggerated in action, lean to excess, and ill drawn—interesting chiefly as a link in Umbrian art between the works of Ottaviano Nelli and Gentile da Fabriano.—C. & C., Italy, iii. 109; Vasari, ed. Le Mon., viii. 69.
