BECCAFUMI, DOMENICO, born near Siena
in 1486, died
in Siena, May 18,
1551. Sienese
school; son of Giacomo
di Pace,
a labourer in the
service of Lorenzo
Beccafumi, by
whom he was apprenticed
to the
painter G. B.
Tozzo, called Capanna,
and
whose surname
he adopted; also called Mecuccio or Mecherino,
on account of his insignificant
appearance. Domenico may have met Perugino
in Siena in 1508, and have felt
his influence. In Rome, where he spent
about two years (1510-1512), he became
enamoured of the works of Michelangelo,
whom he afterwards weakly imitated. On
his return to Siena (1512) he competed
with Sodoma with credit to himself,
though he cannot be justly compared with
that great artist. His style became more
and more mannered as he advanced in life.
The earliest and perhaps the best of his
works is the St. Catherine Receiving the
Stigmata (1512) and Saints, Siena Gallery;
other works are the Marriage and Death of
the Virgin, frescos (1518), S. Bernardino,
Siena; Visitation, Hospital, Siena; Nativity
(1523), S. Martino, Siena; Marriage of St.
