PENNACCHI, GIROLAMO DI PIER
MARIA, born at Treviso in 1497, died in
1545. Called also Girolamo da Treviso.
Probably pupil of his father, Pietro Maria
Pennacchi, but early exhibited a more modern
spirit. Of this period are three pictures
of his in the Casa Origo, Treviso, two
of which bear the name of Giorgione. Girolamo
went early to Venice, and was probably
in Genoa between 1528 and 1532. In
1532 he painted frescos in the Castello of
Trent, and in 1533 he executed a large
fresco of the Madonna, in the Church of
the Commenda, Faenza. About the same
time he painted several pictures also in Bologna,
one of the best of which, a Madonna,
is in the National Gallery, London. He returned
to Venice, and about 1538 entered
the service of Henry VIII. of England; in
1542 he was architect to the king, and designed
a palace for him; and in 1544 he
was raised to the rank of an engineer, and
as such commanded the works at the siege
of Boulogne, where he was killed by a cannon-shot.—C.

PENNACCHI, PIETRO MARIA, born at
Treviso in 1464, died there in 1528. Painted
first in Treviso, where he produced pictures
remarkable for dryness and patient
finish, one of them being so German that it
has been ascribed to Albrecht Dürer. Afterwards
studied in Venice, where he changed
his style, wavering between imitation of
Bellini and Carpaccio. In his early manner
is the Christ in the Tomb, in the Berlin
Museum; in his second, the Annunciation,
in S. Francesco della Vigna, Venice. Still
later he adopted the free system of treatment
of Rondinello, examples of which are
the Madonna, in S. M.
della Salute, Venice,
and the Assumption, in
the Duomo, Treviso.—C. & C., N. Italy, ii.
