GIROLAMO DA SERMONETA, born at
Sermoneta about 1510 (?), died in Rome
about 1580. Umbrian school. Real name
Girolamo Siciolante; pupil of Perino del
Vaga, whom he assisted in his frescos in
Castello S. Angelo and in other works.
Employed by Gregory XIII. in the decorations
of the Sala Regia in the Vatican; also
executed works in many churches in Rome.
His best work is the Madonna and Saints,
in S. Bartolommeo, Ancona. Said to have
been a good portrait painter. His style is
antiquated, more like that of the Peruginesques
than of any of his contemporaries.—Vasari,

vii. 571; Ch. Blanc, École ombrienne.

picture is the Death of the Virgin, at Lonigo,
painted in 1478. Better than this is
the Christ at the Column, in Casa Rinaldi,
Treviso, in which there is an echo of Antonello
da Messina. Virgin with Saints, Duomo,
