He was the only Renaissance artist to mediate between the Venetian and central Italian schools. Drawing on the ideas of Giorgione, Leonardo, and Michelangelo, he refined them to develop a forceful, colorful, and classical style.\u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=StandardD style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003eThe resourceful Venetian was the first to discover a technique that enabled him to paint with oils on stone. He and his close friend Michelangelo fell out over this, as the latter thought this technique was only something for “women and\u0026nbsp;lazybones like Sebastiano.” This is why Giorgio Vasari, in his \u003cI style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\"\u003eLives of the Artists, \u003c\/I\u003edenounced him posthumously as having been lazy, which resulted in centuries of disrespect for Sebastiano del Piombo’s work. The rediscovery of this unique portraitist is long overdue.
