Giovan Francesco (Gianfrancesco) Penni, known also as Il Fattore, Italian painter, pupil of Raphael. Born in Florence to a family of weavers, Penni entered very early in Raphael's workshop, and collaborated with him for several works, including the Stanze of the Vatican Palace as well as the frescoes of Villa Farnesina, both in Rome. After the premature death of Raphael, Penni collaborated with Giulio Romano to the completion of works such as the Hall of Constantine, the Transfiguration, the Assumption and Coronation of the Virgin (1525) in Monteluce, and the Palazzo del Tè of Mantua.Show more
