DOMENICO DI BARTOLO, born at Asciano early part 15th century, died after 1444. Sienese school. Vasari errs in calling him a nephew of Taddeo Bartoli, but he was probably taught in his school. His manner is Umbro-Sienese, deficient in order and balance, and marked by absence of perspective. His earliest picture, Madonna and Angels, dated 1433, is in the Siena Academy; his latest is of 1444. His best work is Madonna with Saints, in the convent of S. Giuliana, Perugia. There are five frescos by him in the Infirmary of the Hospital, Siena.—C. & C., Italy, iii. 52; Vasari, ii. 223; Milanesi, Siena, 171.


DOMENICO VENEZIANO, born about 1390, died in Florence, May 15, 1461. Venetian school. Birth and education unknown. Painted early in Perugia, and from 1439 to 1445 in S. M. Nuova, Florence, where he executed a series of frescos with the aid of his apprentice, Piero della Francesca, and his assistant, Bicci di Lorenzo. He used oil as a medium, but it is certain that he did not learn its use from Antonello da Messina, as asserted by Vasari, since it was known before that time, and is mentioned by Cennini in his Treatise written in the 14th century, and that he was not assassinated by Andrea del Castagno, as is stated by the same author, since he survived him four years. His Madonna with Saints, formerly in S. Lucia de' Bardi, Florence, now in the Uffizi, is a light-*toned piece, of gay and well-fused colour, and fair impasto, held by some to be painted in tempera and by others with an oil vehicle.—C. & C., Italy, ii. 313; Vasari, ed. Mil., ii. 667, 683; Eastlake, Materials, 218; Lübke, Gesch. ital. Mal., i. 283.
