To all See also:appearance See also:Antonio was See also:born at Civita in the Abruzzi, although it is true that one of his pictures is signed " Antonio de See also:Solario Venetus," which may possibly be accounted for on the ground that the See also:signature is not genuine
.
Solario is said to have gone through a love-See also:adventure similar to that of the Flemish painter, Quintin Massys
.
He was at first a smith, and did a See also:job of See also:work in the See also:house of the See also:prime Neapolitan painter Colantonio del Fiore; he See also:fell in love with Colantonio's daughter, and she with him; and the father, to stave him off, said if he would come back in ten years an accomplished painter the See also:young See also:lady should be his
.
Solario studied the See also:art, returned in nine years, and claimed and obtained his See also:- BRIDE (a common Teutonic word, e.g..Goth. bruths, O. Eng. bryd, O. H. Ger. prs2t, Mod. Ger. Bract, Dut. bruid, possibly derived from the root bru-, cook, brew; from the med. latinized form bruta, in the sense of daughter-in-law, is derived the Fr. bru)
bride
.
The fact is that Colantonio' del Fiore is one of those painters who never existed; consequently his daughter never existed, and the whole See also:story, as See also:relating to these particular personages, must be untrue
.
Whether it has any truth, in relation to some unidentified painter and his daughter, is a See also:separate question which we cannot decide
.
Solario made an extensive See also:round of study—first with Lippo Dalmasio in See also:Bologna, and afterwards in See also:Venice, See also:Ferrara, See also:Florence and See also:Rome
.
On returning to See also:Naples he rapidly took the first See also:place in his art
.
His See also:principal performance is in the See also:court of themonastery of S
.
Severinoe-twenty large frescoes illustrating the See also:life of St See also:Benedict, now greatly decayed; they See also:present a vast variety of figures and details, with dexterous modelling and colouring
.
Sometimes, however, Lo Zingaro's See also:colour is crude, and he generally shows weakness of draughtmanship in hands and feet
.
His tendency is that of a naturalist—the heads lifelike and individual, and the landscape backgrounds better invented and cared for than in any contemporary
.
In the Studj See also:gallery of Naples are three pictures attributed to this See also:master, the most remarkable one being a " Madonna and See also:Child Enthroned with See also:Saints." The heads here are reputed to be mostly portraits
.
Solario initiated a mode of art new in
.
Naples; and the See also:works painted between his See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time and that of Tesauro (c
.
1470). are locally termed Zingarescbi." He had many scholars, but not of pre-eminent See also:standing—Nicola Vito, See also:Simone Papa, Angiolillo Roccadirame,
.
Pietro and Ippolito dal Donzello
.
It has. often been said that Solario painted in oil, but of this there is no See also:evidence
