The pictures of Garofalo are almost always pleasing. He was a good draughtsman and colourist, though sometimes a little too vivid in his reds and greens for perfect harmony of effect. According to Vasari he was totally blind during the last nine years of his life.—Vasari, ed. Mil., vi. 459; Burckhardt, 691; Seguier, 208; Cittadella, Mem. di Ben. Tisi (Ferrara, 1872); Ch.
