CAROTO, Giovanni Francesco
Italian Painter, 1480-1555
was an Italian painter of the Renaissance, active mainly in his native city of Verona. He initially apprenticed under Liberale da Verona (1445-1526/1529), a conservative painter infused with the style of Mantegna. Caroto after a stay in Milan, began responding to the other influences from Francesco Bonsignori, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Giulio Romano; but he never lost a certain individuality and his rich Veronese color. He is perhaps best known for having trained, along with the younger Antonio Badile, the prominent Mannerist painter, Paolo Veronese, who was active mainly in Venice. Good examples of his art are in the Castello, Milan, the Chiesa de Carite, Mantua, in the Uffizi and Pitti, Florence, and in the museums of Dresden, Budapest, etc. Related Paintings of CAROTO, Giovanni Francesco :. | Red-Headed Youth Holding a Drawing | The Massacre of the Innocent | Sophonisba Drinking the Poison df | Deposition of the Tears fg | Kinderbildnis | Related Artists: SASSETTAItalian Early Renaissance Painter, ca.1390-1450 HEEM, Jan Davidsz. de Dutch painter (b. 1606, Utrecht, d. 1684, Antwerpen).
