Francesco Vecellio (Pieve di Cadore c. 1475 - c. 1560) - Musical Angel Oil painting on canvas Dimensions: Canvas 110x87cm Frame 120x107cm Written appraisal: Prof. Emilio Negro Francesco, born perhaps in 1475, belonged to the Vecellio family. He was probably the older brother of Titian and worked mainly in Cadore between 1520 and 1530. After a military experience, in 1524 we see him painting an altarpiece for the church of the Difesa, in San Vito di Cadore. Later he painted a polyptych in Candide and the doors of the organ of the church of San Salvatore in Venice. Francesco lived in Venice at least until 1550 and only in the last decade of his life did he move to Cadore, where he became involved in politics and administration and where he died in 1560.
