FUNGAI, BERNARDINO, born about
1460, died in 1516. Sienese school; pupil
of Benvenuto di Giovanni or of Matteo da
Siena; was associated with Giacomo Pacchiarotti
and influenced by Pinturicchio.
He was one of the last representatives of
the old school. In his Coronation of the
Virgin (1500?) in S. M. de' Servi, the figures
are rigid, awkward in movement, and
stiffly draped. His Madonna and Saints
(1512) in the Carmine, Siena, is better proportioned,
though less characteristic than
the Coronation in Church of the Madonna
di Fontegiusta, Siena, and the Assumption
in the Siena Academy. His best and perhaps
his latest work is a Christ between SS.

FURINI, FRANCESCO, born in Florence

school; pupil of his father, Filippo Furini,
and successively of Passignano, Bilevelt,
and Matteo Rosselli. Afterwards studied
works of Guido in Rome. On return to
Florence won considerable reputation for

in which he could introduce the forms
of women and children. His flesh tints are
very mellow and tender. Among his works
are, Magdalen in the Desert, Siena Academy;
do. (2), Vienna Museum; Daughters of Lot,
Madrid Museum; Venus
and Adonis, Buda-Pesth
Gallery; Creation
of Eve, Palazzo
Pitti, Florence; Birth
