Battista Franco Veneziano
- Battista Franco Veneziano
Battista Franco Veneziano also known by his correct name of Giovanni Battista Franco( before 1510 - 1561) was an Italian Mannerist painter and printmaker in etching active in Rome, Urbino, and Venice in the mid 1500s. He is also known as "Il Semolei" or just "Battista Franco".
Native to Venice, he came to Rome in his twenties. He painted an allegory of the "Battle of Montemurlo" now in the Pitti Palace (1537), and a fresco of the "Arrest of John the Baptist" for the Oratory of San Giovanni Decollato (1541). From 1545-51 he painted in Urbino. He may have been, along with Girolamo Genga, one of the mentors of Federico Barocci. His painting was stilted mimicry of Michelangelo; his etchings have far more verve. He returned to Venice, where he helped fresco the ceiling of the Biblioteca Marciana (library). He painted a series of panels, including a "Baptism of Christ", for the walls and vault of the Grimani chapel in the church San Francesco della Vigna in Venice. He painted the "Raising of Lazarus" in the Ducal palace.
