BUONCONSIGLIO, GIOVANNI, of Vicenza, flourished 1497-1530. Commonly called Il Marescalco. Probably assistant to Speranza, where he felt the influence of the Paduan school; subsequently took Antonello da Messina for his model. Painted alternately in Vicenza, in Venice, and in the neighbouring provinces. Style much like that of Benedetto Montagna, but while he improved by study of Carpaccio, Buonconsiglio formed his style under the influence of Antonello and Gio. Bellini. Among his best works are the Virgin and Child in San Rocco, Vicenza, painted in 1502; Christ between two Saints, in the Gesuiti, Venice; and the Virgin, Child, and Saints, three pictures, 1511-1513, much restored, in the Duomo of Montagnana (near Vicenza); Lamentation over dead body of Christ, Gallery, Vicenza; Altarpieces at S. Giacomo dell Orto, and S. Spirito, Venice; Madonna with Saints (1497), Venice Academy.—C. & C., N. Italy, i. 436; Burckhardt, 604.
