Sodoma, Il |

Sodoma, Il (ēl sô`dōmä), c.1477–1549, Sienese painter, whose real name was Giovanni Antonio Bazzi. Born in Vercelli, Piedmont, he went to Rome c.1508. Commissioned by Pope Julius II, he painted frescoes in the Camera della Segnatura in the Vatican. Raphael's frescoes afterward replaced most of his work there. For Agostino Chigi in the Farnesina Villa, Sodoma painted two frescoes, The Marriage of Alexander and Alexander in the Tent of Darius. In Siena and its vicinity he produced many works, executed in a saccharine style. Among these paintings are scenes from the life of St. Catherine (San Domenico) and from the life of St. Benedict (Monte Oliveto). How to thank TFD for its existence?
