Leandro Bassano

1557-1622

Leandro da Ponte, called Leandro Bassano. Venetian School. Born 1557; died 1622. Like his brothers, Leandro was trained by his father, Jacopo Bassano, and collaborated in the family bottega. But he developed a more independent style than did any of his brothers. He transferred his residence from Bassano to Venice as early, probably, as 1582. Here he became especially prominent as a portrait painter, drawing inspiration primarily from Tintoretto.
