COLLE

Volume 7 · 82 words · 1860 Edition

RAFFAELLO DA, so called from the place of his birth, is by Lanzi mentioned as the probable assistant of Raffaello in the Vatican and Farnesina; certainly as that of Giulio Romano at Rome, and seemingly also at Mantua. From his remaining works at Urbino, San Sepolcro, Pesaro, Perugia, &c., in several altar pieces, Lanzi considers Da Colle as one of the best masters of the Roman school of Raffaello. Neither the date of his birth nor of his death are precisely ascertained.
