Domenico Mancini(born late 15th century, died in 16th century) was an Italian painter of the Venetian mainland, painting in a HighRenaissancestyle. Mancini was either a pupil or a close follower ofGiorgioneandGiovanni Bellini.[1]He is said to have worked alongsidePietro Maria Pennacchi.[2]
Biography[edit]
Little is known about the painter. He is known for one signed altarpiece, anEnthroned Madonna and Child with Lute-playing Angel,painted in 1511 for the former church of San Francesco in Lendinara[3]He indicates on the painting that he is aVenetian.[4][5]This work has been called a variation upon Giovanni Bellini's 1505 altarpiece inSan Zaccaria, Venice.[6]Other works include aMadonna with St John the Baptist and St Peterin Florence and aSacra Conversazionein theLouvre.A portrait signed Domenicus is attributed to him.[7]Crowe and Calcaselle erroneously speculated whetherFrancesco Domeniciof Treviso might be the son of Mancini, and also erroneously whether Mancini might be the same painter asDomenico Capriolo,another contemporaryGiorgionistaof Treviso.[8]
