Italian High Renaissance Painter, 1498-1554 Italian painter. Together with Romanino and Giovanni Girolamo Savoldo, he was one of the most distinguished painters of Brescia of the 16th century. Influenced by both Lombard verism and contemporary Venetian painters, Moretto created an individual style in which realism and Venetian light and colour were perfectly balanced. He was personally involved in the local movement of Roman Catholic reform, and this is reflected in his direct, solemn and often moving depictions of religious subjects.  Related Paintings of MORETTO da Brescia :. | Lavaters Tod | Portrait of a Gentleman | Count Sciarra Martinengo Cesaresco a | St Justina with the Unicorn sg | Portrait of a Man sg |
