'Palma's three Daughters, in the Dresden Gallery, is a masterpiece of 'fair, full-blown beauty. The hair of the women is of the curiously bleached yellow tint affected then by the Venetian ladies. Palma painted many pictures, leaving at his death forty-our unfinished. Giovanni Antonio da Pardenone, born 1483, died 1538.
He had many names, 'Pardenone' from his birth-place, 'Corticellis' from that of his father, and he is believed to have assumed the name 'Regillo' after he received knighthood from the King of Hungary. He was Venetian in his artistic qualities. Many of his works are in his native Pardetowns near. All have suffered and some are now hidden by whitewash. His chief strength lay in fresco.
There is only one picture, and that a portrait, indisputably assigned to Pardenone in England, in the Baring Collection. There is no record of the time and place of Lo Spagna's birth. He died in 1533. He was a careful, conscientious follower of Perugino and Raphael, doing finished and delicate work; an 'Assumption' in a church at Trevi is a fine example of his qualities.
