Jacopo Bassano · Paintings, Biography & Famous Works

Italian, 1510–1592

Jacopo Bassano was an Italian Early Baroque Italian painter. 77 works are cataloged here, principally at Bavarian State Painting Collections, most of them oil paintings. Jacopo Bassano was born in Bassano del Grappa.

Jacopo Bassano was an Italian Renaissance painter of the Venetian school. He was born and died in Bassano del Grappa, and took the village as his surname. Having trained in the workshop of his father, Francesco the Elder, he painted mostly religious paintings, landscapes, and genre scenes.

Indeed, he often treated biblical themes in the manner of rural genre scenes, representing peasants, animals, and the agrarian landscape with great accuity. Bassano's pictures were very popular in Venice and, eventually, throughout Europe. His four sons – Francesco Bassano the Younger, Giovanni Battista da Ponte, Leandro Bassano, and Girolamo da Ponte – also became artists and followed him closely in style and subject matter.
