  Palma Vecchio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Palma Vecchio (1480 - July 1528), born Jacopo Palma, was an Italian painter of the Venetian school was born at Serinalta near Bergamo.
He is called Palma Vecchio (Old Palma) to distinguish him from Palma Giovane, his grand-nephew, considered to be much inferior.
When Vecchio arrived in Venice early in the 16th century, he reputedly was a companion and competitor of Lorenzo Lotto, and to some extent a pupil of Titian.

 Jacopo Vecchio
The Venetians claimed Palma Vecchio as a native of their city, and Vasari in speaking of him as "the Venetian Palma" seems to have accepted their claim.
Of Palma Vecchio's personal appearance we have conflicting evidence in the two portraits of him published in different early editions of Vasari's `Lives of the Painters,' and in the portrait reproduced on page 22 of the present number of this SERIES, which is totally unlike either of the others.
Formerly held to be a portrait of Giorgione by himself, Dr. Miindler has identified it with the picture of Palma Vecchio described by Vasari as "without doubt the portrait of the artist, which he took with the assistance of a mirror," and which is highly praised by this same writer.

 Jacopo Palma - LoveToKnow 1911
He is reputed to have been a companion and competitor of Lorenzo Lotto, and to some extent a pupil of Titian, after arriving in Venice early in the 16th century; he may also have been the master of Bonifazio.
The beautiful portrait of the National Gallery, London, with a background of foliage, originally described as "Ariosto" and as by Titian, and now reascribed to that master, was for some years assumed to be an unknown poet by Palma Vecchio.
In 1907 the Staedel Institute in Frankfort acquired an important work by Palma Vecchio, identified by its director as an illustration of Ovid's second Metamorphosis, and named "Jupiter and Calisto." Palma's grand-nephew, Palma Giovane, was also named Jacopo (1544 to about 1626).

 Belle Donne portraits, Venice Renaissance by Raichel Le Goff
Palma Vecchio's model appears so many times in his paintings that she takes on a real identity to us and we begin to visualize her as a Venetian woman that the artist knew and obviously admired.
In Palma's Blonde Woman in Berlin, the red drape is held by two hands as if the sitter were attempting to cover her breasts.
The artless appearance of Palma Vecchio and Titian's models, seems in part, to be a reaction against the artificial beauty of the women on the street.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Palma Vecchio
Imitating Giorgione, Palma treated sacred subjects as "tableaux de genre", wherein the sometimes exuberant strength, animation, and limpid, transparent colouring deserve admiration while they lack religious sentiment.
Palma was also a remarkable portrait painter, excelling especially in portraits of women, most of whom were court ladies.
His portraits of men are also excellent, especially that of an unknown man (museum of Berlin), and Palma himself (Pinacothek, Munich).

 Sacred Conversation by PALMA VECCHIO   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The masterpiece of this phase of his career is undoubtedly this 'Sacred Conversation' which was perhaps the painting which Ridolfi quotes as hanging in the house of the Widmann family in 1648.
The spacious, monumental cadence of the rhythms of the figures offers the coloured passages the chance to spread in sumptuous zones defined by the polished refinement of his line, while shapes acquire a clean, plastic integrity through the effect of the limpid play of chiaroscuro.
The opulent use of colour to bind the figures together gives clear evidence of Palma il Vecchio's propensity for the recreation of reality in an ideal model, unmoving and unmoved.

He is called Palma Vecchio (Old Palma) to distinguish him from Palma Giovane (Young Palma), his great-nephew.
Nothing is known of his training, and there is indeed very little secure knowledge about his life and works, none of his pictures being dated or reliably signed and very few of them being certainly identifiable from early sources.
Sacre conversazioni (Holy Conversations) is a subject he painted many times; in it, groupings of figures converse in a quiet landscape suffused in a golden glow.

 Berry-Hill/Exhibitions
Although Jacopo Palma lived into his late seventies and was often called "il vecchio" by his contemporaries, the nickname "il giovane" came about in the 17th century to distinguish him from his great uncle, Palma Vecchio.
By the 1580s, however, Palma Giovane had developed a characteristically Venetian style and technique, with richer surfaces, greater attention to light, and a looser brushstroke.
The versatile figural positions and spatial dynamics that Palma began to place in his compositions, moreover, bear distinctive reference to the great influence of Jacopo Tintoretto on his mature style.

THE position occupied by Palma Vecchio in the history of the development of Venetian painting is a subject of controversy among critics.
This date, however, is believed by Morelli, and by all modern critics, to be a late forgery.
By the majority of critics the position accorded to Palma Vecchio is less important, the general opinion being that, charming as he is in many of his works, even great as he shows himself to be in some few, he cannot claim to be a leader or an epoch-marking painter.

 Analysing the Style in the Palma Vecchio and Titian Era - Venus' Seamstress
Art of this period indicates that sometimes a little jacket-like garment was worn over the dress to cover the camicia.
There is also something that appears to be a separate under-dress, but which could in fact be a sleeveless jacket-like garment worn inside/tucked into the low neckline (Palma Vecchio's Three Sisters).
By the time that the ribbon-tied dress appears, the waistline appears to hover somewhere between waist and under-bust, but by the 1530s it has dropped to natural waistline level.
