Giovan Francesco was buried in the Madonna dell' Organo, in the Chapel of S. Niccolò, which he himself had adorned with his paintings. Giovanni Caroto, brother of Giovan Francesco, although he followed the manner of the latter, yet gained less reputation in the practice of painting.
While he was at Padua, the great work of Fabricius, "De Visione, Voce et Auditu" was published, then the "Tractatus de Oculo Visusque Organo" , and in the last year of his residence Fabricius must have been busy with his studies on the valves of the veins and with his embryology, which appeared in 1604.
