"Giovanni Antonio de Sacchis, called Il Pordenone, was an artist whose genius was far less than Correggio's, but his power of invention was almost comparable and the motives that inspired it were similar. The influence of Pordenone's inventions was not as enduring as Correggio's, but within the span of Pordenone's own activity it was vast, and geographically more widespread. Pordenone's inventions were clamorous in their novelty and more obvious in their effect. Of a provincial origin much more isolated and retardataire than Correggio's, in the Friuli, north-east of Venice, the climate of his earliest artistic education was not one to impose a discipline of form or of expressive manners. Even after close experience of Venice and a knowledge of the classical style of Rome, Pordenone's conception of the function of art for long remained provincial and popular, not only daring vulgarity but at times evidently willing it."
