His draperies flow in rich and ample folds ; his colouring is harmonious and glowing, like that of Giorgione, but with a prevailing yellow tone in the flesh; and his works are very highly finished. Some of his portraits are admirable ; they are highly praised by Yasari. Falma's works, on the whole, are numerous in the European gal- leries, though according to Yasari he died aged only forty-eight Works., Yenice, Academy, St. John the Baptist with St. Peter and other* Saints, an early work in the style of Giorgione; Christ and the Widow of Nain; the Ascension of the Yirgin: Santa Maria Formosa, Sta.

He was the scholar of Melozzo da Forli, and according to Lanzi his early works were in the diy and formal manner of the Quattro- eetUisH, with abundance of gilding; while his later productions displayed piare skill in the grouping and more freedom of execution; yet with a grace and a finish approach- ing Francia. He was, however, in the habit of disregarding the dra- matic unities ; and introduced accessory groups that had no relation with the principal. In the Brera at Milan are three pictures by Palmezzano— the Nativity; the Madonna and Child, with St. Peter and other Saints ; and the Coronation of the Yirgin. Also at Forli, in the Duomo, is a picture re- presenting the Last Supper, and in the Berlin Gallery are two pictures, one of the Yirgin and Child, with Saints, signed Marcus PalmezzanuSt Pictar Foroliorensis ; and a small pic- ture of Christ bearing his Cross, with a similar signature, and the date 1503.

The early works of 4his pain- ter resemble those of the oldest Fer- rarese masters, but without their fan- tastic tendency; and according to
