==Biography==
Born in [[Venice]] to a [[Flemish people|Flemish]] family, and trained with [[Leonardo Corona]]. The date of his death is uncertain, but he seems to have been alive in 1639. For a number of years he studied under Corona, and on the death of that painter completed several works left [[unfinished work|unfinished]] by him. His own activity seems to have been confined to the production of pieces for several of the churches and a few private houses in Venice, and the old guide-books and descriptions of the city notice a considerable number of paintings by him. Scarcely any have survived.{{sfnp|EB|1911}}
For the Sanctuary of the Madonna delle Grazie in [[Cordovado]], he painted or frescoed a number of works depicting events in the life of the Virgin, including: (for the cupola of the church) ''Visitation of Mary to St Anne and Joachim''; ''Circumcision of Jesus''; ''Adoration of the Magi''; ''Presentation of Jesus at the Temple and Purification of Mary''; ''Massacre of the Innocents''; ''Jesus among the Doctors''; ''Assumption of the Virgin''; ''Coronation of the Virgin''; and (two lunettes) a ''Birth of the Virgin'' and ''Assumption of the Virgin''.<ref>[https://www.parrocchiacordovado.it/madonna-delle-grazie.html Parish of Cordovado].</ref>
