Capriolo, Domenico

Italian original Cite

CAPRIOLO, DOMENICO. - Painter, b. in Venice in 1494, d. in Treviso on 3 Oct. 1528. A pupil of P. M. Pennacchi, he was later drawn into the orbit of Pordenone and of D. Mancini, with whom he was often confused.

Three works of his are known: Adoration of the Shepherds, 1518 (Treviso, picture gallery); Assumption, 1520 (Treviso, cathedral); Portrait of a Gentleman, 1528 (Bernard Castle, Bowes Museum). Modern criticism adds others to these, among them some prophets in the coffers of the ceiling of S. Maria dei Miracoli in Venice.
