Francesco Bassano II

1549-1592

Francesco da Ponte, called Francesco Bassano the Younger. Venetian School. Born 1549; died 1592. He was the oldest of Jacopo Bassano’s four painter sons, and was no exception in being trained in the father’s manner and in frequently modeling his compositions after his father's; his signature following that of his father proves their collaboration on paintings. Even after Francesco's removal from Bassano to Venice, in 1579, Jacopo remained his chief inspiration.
