(1) Battista dell’Angolo del Moro

(b Verona, c. 1515; d ?Verona, 1573 or after). Painter, draughtsman and etcher. He was trained by his father-in-law, whose decorative painting style was much influenced by the work of Titian and Giulio Romano. Much of Battista’s paintings, on the façades of churches and palazzi in the Marches, has been lost (due to the damp and salty coastal environment), but the recently restored façade of the Palazzo Pindemonti, Verona, reveals his talents as a fresco painter. There are other surviving paintings by Battista in the churches of S Eufemia (Paul before Ananias), S Stefano (An Angel Presenting the Palms of Martyrdom to the Innocents) and S Fermo Maggiore, all in Verona, and also in Mantua Cathedral. In 1557 Battista, assisted by his son Marco, painted fresco decorations in the Palazzo Treviso at Murano, where Veronese was also active.

Part of the Angolodel Moro, dell’ family
