SANTI (Sanzio), GIOVANNI, born in Colbordolo about 1435, died in Urbino, Aug. 1, 1494. Umbrian school; son of Sante Santi, a huckster, and the father of Raphael; was a painter before 1468; master unknown, but probably brought up under influence of Piero della Francesca and of Melozzo da Forli. Was a man of culture; wrote a long poem, still extant (Vatican Library), in honour of his patron, Federigo da Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino. Painted a large fresco in the Tiranni Chapel, S. Domenico, Cagli, in two parts—the Resurrection of Christ above, and the Madonna enthroned with Saints below—a pleasing and well-arranged composition, showing a knowledge of linear perspective and some skill in foreshortening. Santi was a pains-*taking, conscientious artist, who availed himself of those opportunities for improvement which came in his way, and thus acquired a technical skill superior to that of Palmerucci or Nelli. Among the best of his pictures are: Adoration of the Virgin, Convent of Monte Fiorentino, near Urbania; Madonna with Saints, S. Croce, and Visitation, S. M. Nuova, Fano; Madonna with Saints, Church of Grodara; Madonna with Saints, Berlin Museum; Madonna, National Gallery, London; Annunciation, Brera, Milan; Boy in Profile, Palazzo Colonna, Rome.—C. & C., Italy, ii. 579; Vasari, ed. Le Mon., viii. 2, 67; Passavant, Rafael von Urbino und sein Vater (Leipsic, 1839); Pungileoni, Elogio Storico di Giov. Santi (Urbino, 1822); Ch. Blanc, École ombrienne; C. & C., Raphael, i. cap. 1.
