ZELOTTI, GIAMBATTISTA, born in
Verona about 1532,
died about 1592.
Venetian school;
educated in the
school of Antonio
Badile, where he
was a fellow-pupil
and friend of Paolo
Veronese. Called
by Vasari, Battista
Farinato, whence
some have supposed him of kin to Paolo
Farinato. Vasari also numbers him among
the pupils of Titian. He was a man of
genius, full of ideas and of imagination,
and a worthy rival of Paolo Veronese, with
whom he worked much in collaboration, especially
in fresco painting, in which he excelled;
but he was without ambition or
confidence in himself, and died obscure and
miserable. Among his frescos, those in the
Palazzo Ducale, which have been attributed
to Paolo Veronese, and those in the Library
of St. Mark are the best. Of his pictures
in oil, The Conversion of St. Paul, and the
Miraculous Draught of Fishes, Vicenza,
Duomo, are much admired.—Ch. Blanc,
École vénitienne; Vasari, ed. Mil, vi. 595;
