Penni assisted his master in the Vatican and in the Farnesina frescos, and he painted the greater part of the celebrated Cartoons from Raphael's designs. He made copies of Raphael's Transfiguration and Entombment, the former of which is in the Sciarra Colonna Gallery, Rome. Raphael's Visitation, Madrid Museum, and Madonna del Passeggio, Bridgewater Gallery, are attributed to Penni, after Raphael's designs. His St. George and the Dragon and St. Michael are in the Dresden Museum. After Raphael's death Penni and Giulio Romano worked together for a while, but they finally separated and the former settled at Naples.—Vasari, ed. Le Mon., viii. 241; ed.
