MORO, BATTISTA ANGELI DEL, born about 1530, died in Rome about 1010. ; Venetian school ; proper name Battista Aii- geli, but took the name del Moro when he became the heir of his father-in-law and master, Francesco Torbido, called II Moro. As a painter he lacked originality, being an eclectic imitator of all the great painters of his time, but lie won a considerable reputa- tion, and worked in Venice and in Mantua in concurrence with Paolo Veronese. He painted also many frescos in Verona. Vasari says lie excelled as a painter of miniatures, and he was an engraver of much merit. He was aided in his works by his son, Marco del Moro, who died young at Rome after 1580. Battista had also two brothers, Gi- ulio (died after 1018), a mediocre painter, sculptor, and architect, and Girolamo dell' Augelo (died 1022). Ch. Blanc, Ecole ve- nitienuc ; Vasari, ed.

Venetian school ; called by his townsmen Pclacano (Tanner), on account of his father's occupation. Reg- istered among Veronese burghers in 1491; educated in the school of Pisanello, but de- veloped a broader style ; commissioned to paint library of Convent of S. Bernardino in 1503, and doors of the organ (1483), still extant, and frescos in S. M. in Organo in 1508. He was a fair second-rate represent- ative of his art in the 15th century, but, taken in connection with his son, Francesco, he gave an impulse to Veronese art, develop- ing a new and powerful style based on the precepts of Mantegna, though without ser- vile imitation.
