Destre, Vincenzo dalle [Vincenzo da Treviso]
(b ?Treviso, fl from 1488; d before 1543). Italian painter. He was a pupil of Girolamo da Treviso the elder and in 1495 collaborated with Giovanni Bellini in the Sala del Maggior Consiglio of the Doge’s Palace, Venice. In the same city he was connected with the Scuola di S Giovanni Evangelista and the Scuola di S Maria della Misericordia and enrolled as a member of the painters’ guild ( fraglia). Two of his paintings, both signed (Padua, Mus. Civ.; Venice, Correr), are based on Bellini’s Presentation in the Temple. The two versions differ from each other only in the figure of the woman on the left. In the version in Venice she is derived, as is the figure of St Joseph, from Bellini’s grisaille depicting the Lamentation (Florence, Uffizi). In the painting in Padua, on the other hand, she appears to be based on a type of Virgin that was first introduced by Bellini and also used early in his career by Rocco Marconi. Two altarpieces have been assigned to Vincenzo: the Virgin and Child Enthroned with SS Andrew and Liberalis (Treviso, Mus. Civ.) and St Erasmus Enthroned between SS John the Baptist and Sebastian (1503; Treviso, S Leonardo; figures of Virgin and Child added later in 16th century) and he may also have executed the Virgin and Child (on sale Munich, J. Böhler, 1 and 2 June 1937, lot 1653) that derives from a prototype by Bellini (two versions; Frankfurt am Main, Städel. Kstinst.; Urbino, Pal. Ducale), in which the Virgin is flanked by SS John the Baptist and Elizabeth.
