Varotari, Alessandro (II Padovanino)

an eminent Italian painter, was born at Padua in 1590. He received instruction in painting, and began in childhood to study and imitate the works of Titian, which were at Padua. He was sent, while young, to Venice, where he continued the study of Titian so assiduously as to be considered among the foremost of his disciples. His pictures abound in Venice and Padua but are rarely met with elsewhere. The principal are, The Dead Christ, (now at Florence): The Supper at Cana, in the chapter of La Carita at Venice: four histories of the life of S. Domenico. He died in 1650. See Spooner, Biog. Hist. of the Fine Arts, s.v.
