SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Jacopo Bassano, also known as Jacopo dal Ponte or Giacomo da Ponte, developed a style of painting that the National Gallery describes as rustic, realistic and expressive. According to the institution, he was probably first trained by his father, Francesco, and then in Venice by Bonifazio Veronese. His pictorial culture is rooted in Venetian painting, particularly that of Titian and Lotto; from around 1540, his expressive style also owes something to the works of Raphael and Parmigianino.
The National Gallery also notes his debt to Dürer’s prints and presents him as a pioneer of nocturnal scenes in Italy: realism, expressiveness and the exploration of night are thus documented features of his approach.
The painting Il povero Lazzaro e il ricco Epulone, recorded under his name and dated 1580–1590, provides a concrete example. This oil painting on canvas measures 61.5 × 56 cm; it is held at the Galleria Nazionale di Palazzo Spinola in Genoa and belongs to the State.
