(b Conegliano, c. 1510; d Udine, between 1550 and 1564). Italian painter. According to Vasari, who mentioned him as Bastiano Florigorio, he was a pupil of Pellegrino da San Daniele. He is documented in Pellegrino’s shop from 1523 and married his daughter in 1527. His earliest surviving paintings are the Virgin and Child with SS Anne, Roch and Sebastian and the lunette of St John the Evangelist with SS Francis and Anthony (both Venice, Accad.) from the altarpiece executed in 1524–5 for S Francesco, Conegliano. A large painting of the Virgin and Child with SS George and John the Baptist (1529; Udine, S Giorgio), probably his best known work, is closer to the style of Pordenone than to that of Pellegrino. From c. 1529 until 1533 he was in Padua, where he frescoed a Pietà (destr.) for the main altar of S Bovo and painted an altarpiece with the central panel depicting the Pietà (Rovigo, Accad. Concordi), the side panels St Sebastian and St Roch (both Padua, Mus. Civ.) and a predella of three panels: SS Anthony and Prosdocimus (Pordenone, priv. col.), signed and dated 1533, St Daniel (Venice, Calligaris priv. col.) and St Justine (untraced). The altarpiece was reassembled for the exhibition Dopo Mantegna, Arte padovana e nel territorio nei secoli XV e XVI (Padua, Pal. Ragione; 1976). He also executed frescoes (destr.) in the portico of the Palazzo del Capitano in Padua. Between 1538 and 1543 he was in Cividale. In 1543 he returned to Udine, where he probably remained until his death. Vasari attributed to him the portrait of Raffaello Grassi (Florence, Uffizi).
