BORDONE, PARIS, born in Treviso, in 1500, died in Venice, Jan. 19, 1570. Vene- tian school ; of a noble family ; pupil of Ti- tian, under whom he gave promise early of great ability. Afterward studied the works of Giorgione, whom he imitated rather than Titian. He excelled especially in portraits, his heads being inferior only to those of Titian. His flesh tints are wonderful- ly brilliant, but in taste and quality of touch he was inferior to either Titian or Paolo Veronese. His landscape backgrounds are generally classical and elegant. In 1538 he

went to Paris, at the invitation of Francis I, or, as some say, in 1559, at that of Francis H., and painted the principal personages of the court. The most important of his works are: The Fisherman presenting the Ring of St. Mark to the Doge, and the Tiburtine Sibyl, Venice Academy ; Baptism of Christ, Brera, Milan ; Altarpiece and Madonna and Saints, Berlin Museum ; Diana, ApoUo, and Marsyas, Dresden Gallery ; Madonna and Saints, Hermitage, St. Petersburg; Daphnis and Chloe, National Gallery, London.
