FARINATI, BATTISTA, born at Verona
in 1532, died in 1592. Venetian school;
history painter, nephew and probably pupil
of Paolo; was the fellow-student and friend
of Paolo Veronese, whom he assisted in his
works in the Palazzo della Soranza at Castelfranco,
and in public buildings in Venice.

Draught of Fishes, Vicenza Cathedral; The
Virtues, The Studies, Palazzo Ducale, Venice;

FARINATI, PAOLO, born in Verona in
1524, died in 1606. Venetian school. He
belonged to a famous Florentine family, the
Farinati degli Uberti, who in the 13th century
were at the head of the Ghibellines of
Florence. Dispersed by the Guelphs, a
branch of the family settled in Verona,
where Paolo became its most distinguished
member. His first master was Niccolò Giolfino,
on leaving whom he is said to have gone
to Venice to study Giorgione and Titian;
but his style resembles rather that of Giulio
Romano than that of either of those masters,
and it is certain that he spent some time in
Mantua, where he painted a St. Martin for
the chapel of the Sacrament in the Duomo.
Ten of his pictures are in the Museum at
Verona. In S. Maria in Organo are four,
of which the Massacre of the Innocents is
dated 1566, and in S. Anastasia two, one of
which, a Christ between SS. Peter and Paul,
is dated 1589. In S. Giorgio Maggiore is
the Multiplication of the Loaves, painted in
1603, when Paolo was seventy-nine years
old. Other examples of his work are in the
Duomo, in S. Giovanni in Fonte, in S. Pietro
in Monasterio, in S. Tommaso, in S.
Nazzaro e Celso, and in the Palazzi Carlotti,
Serego, and Murari. Farinati painted much
in fresco. His son and pupil, Orazio, was
also a history painter; works in S. Paolo, S.
M. del Paradiso,
and S. Stefano,
