Brief Biography-Paolo Farinati, a painter of the Mannerist style, was born in Verona in 1524. Niccolò Giolfino and Antonio Badile tutored him, and the works of Parmigianino, the little one from Parma, influenced him. He also studied under Giulio Romanoin Mantua, where he painted his first noted work in the Duomo of Mantua. One of his most famous works was in the Church of Saint George at Verona and was equal to the art of Paolo Veronese. The painting is Feeding of the Five Thousand, which he completed at seventy-nine. He retained his abilities into his old age. Veronese remained a strong influence on work. His son and assistant Orazio became a successful artist, painting in his father’s style, and his nephew, Giovanni Battista Farinati, whom he tutored, became a successful painter.
