With a Mannerist background, he
developed an unmistakable style that proved highly popular with Venetian society. He painted decorations for churches, palaces and villas. He used vivid and brilliant colors in sweeping and theatrical compositions, holding up a mirror to elegant Venetia
n society. His worldly inspiration got him into trouble with the religious authorities. He collaborated with the major architects of his time, such as Sanmicheli and Palladio.
