Giovanni Da Udine

1487 – 1564

Italian painter, stuccoist, and architect (full name: Giovanni di Nanni da Udine). He was one of Raphael 's leading assistants in Rome and is chiefly important for his role in reviving antique techniques of stucco and the ancient taste for grotesques, inspired by archaeological discoveries. In 1502 he was apprenticed to Giovanni Martini (also called Giovanni da Udine; d 1535), a painter in Udine, and subsequently he may have studied with Giorgione in Venice.
