BUONCONSIGLIO, GIOVANNI, of Vicenza,
flourished 1497-1530. Commonly
called Il Marescalco. Probably assistant to
Speranza, where he felt the influence of the
Paduan school; subsequently took Antonello
da Messina for his model. Painted alternately
in Vicenza, in Venice, and in the
neighbouring provinces. Style much like
that of Benedetto Montagna, but while he
improved by study of Carpaccio, Buonconsiglio
formed his style under the influence
of Antonello and Gio. Bellini. Among his
best works are the Virgin and Child in San
Rocco, Vicenza, painted in 1502; Christ between
two Saints, in the Gesuiti, Venice;
and the Virgin, Child, and Saints, three
pictures, 1511-1513, much restored, in the
Duomo of Montagnana (near Vicenza); Lamentation
over dead body of Christ, Gallery,
Vicenza; Altarpieces at S. Giacomo dell
Orto, and S. Spirito, Venice; Madonna with
