Italian, 1477–1549
Il Sodoma (born Giovanni Antonio Bazzi, 1477–1549) was an Italian High Renaissance painter of the Sienese school. Trained in Lombardy, he worked chiefly in Siena and Rome, where he decorated the Villa Farnesina with his celebrated fresco of the Wedding of Alexander and Roxana. His graceful, softly modelled figures show the influence of Leonardo da Vinci, and he ranks among the leading painters of early sixteenth-century Siena.
