Biography:
Giovanni Antonio Sacchis was born in Pordenone in the northern Italian province of Friuli and eventually adopted the name of his hometown as his own. He painted in Venice and Northern Italy, influenced early on by the work of Andrea Mantegna. Pordenone went to Rome in his early thirties where he studied the art of Michelangelo and Raphael. He was an ambitious artist who committed crimes to advance his career, such as hiring assassins to kill his brother and conspiring against colleagues to take over their projects. The latter occurred when Pordenone was thirty-eight and was working on frescoes for the Cremona cathedral, a commission that later made him famous. He moved to Venice at the age of fifty-two and developed a rivalry with Titian. Shortly before his death, Pordenone was asked to design a series of tapestries for the Duke of Ferrara.
