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. Works: Conversion of St. Paul, Miraculous Draught of Fishes, Vicenza Cathedral; The Virtues, The Studies, Palazzo Ducale, Venice; Frescos in Villa Obizzo at Catajo; Holy Family, Lochis-Carrara Gallery, Bergamo.


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, Verona.—Vasari, ed.
