VENDRI, Antonio da
(b. ~1476 Verona, d. 1555 Verona)
Italian painter. He worked in Verona between 1517-45; his name appears in documents not only as a painter, but also as a baker and tailor. He was a pupil of Liberale da Verona. One of his brothers was a painter too. As an artist he primarily painted religious-themed paintings for church commissions. He painted a Madonna and Child with Two Angels in 1518 (Verona, Museo Civico di Castelvecchio), and was commissioned by Cardinal Bernardo Clesio to paint frescoes (now lost) in Toblino Castle near Levico, Trent, in 1536. A fresco fragment, possibly by Antonio, showing the Madonna and Child and St Roch, survives in the church of Santa Maria in Stelle, Verona.
