TORBroO, FRANCESCO, first half of 16th century ; living in 1546. Venetian school ; commonly called II Moro. Ac- cording to Vasari, he went as a youth to Venice to study under Giorgione, but in consequence of a quarrel had to return to Verona. He gave up his profession for a time, but finally became a pupil of Libe- rale, who made him his heir. Throughout his career he imitated various painters, though always revealing himself. Second- rate when most original. In his Venetian style he resembles Pompon io Amalteo or Cariani ; and when he works on Giulio Ro- mano's cartoons he is Raphaelesque. Among his works in Verona are a Madonna with Saints, in S. Zeno, altarpieces in S. Eufemia and S. Fermo, and the frescos of the Na- tivity, Presentation, and Assumption of the Virgin (1534), in the choir of the Duomo. The latter are from cartoons by Giulio Ro- mano. Torbido was also an engraver.
