MORO, BATTISTA ANGELI DEL, born about 1530, died in Rome about 1610. Venetian school; proper name Battista Angeli, but took the name del Moro when he became the heir of his father-in-law and master, Francesco Torbido, called Il Moro. As a painter he lacked originality, being an eclectic imitator of all the great painters of his time, but he won a considerable reputation, and worked in Venice and in Mantua in concurrence with Paolo Veronese. He painted also many frescos in Verona. Vasari says he excelled as a painter of miniatures, and he was an engraver of much merit. He was aided in his works by his son, Marco del Moro, who died young at Rome after 1586. Battista had also two brothers, Giulio (died after 1618), a mediocre painter, sculptor, and architect, and Girolamo dell' Angelo (died 1622).—Ch. Blanc, École vénitienne; Vasari, ed.

MORONE, DOMENICO, born in Verona in 1442, died after 1508. Venetian school; called by his townsmen Pelacano (Tanner), on account of his father's occupation. Registered among Veronese burghers in 1491; educated in the school of Pisanello, but developed a broader style; commissioned to paint library of Convent of S. Bernardino in 1503, and doors of the organ (1483), still extant, and frescos in S. M. in Organo in 1508. He was a fair second-rate representative of his art in the 15th century, but, taken in connection with his son, Francesco, he gave an impulse to Veronese art, developing a new and powerful style based on the precepts of Mantegna, though without servile imitation.—C. & C., N. Italy, i. 486; Lübke, Gesch. ital. Mal., ii. 575; Bernasconi, 238.

MORONE, FRANCESCO, born in Verona in 1473, died there, May 16, 1529. Ve
