Girolamo Mocetto

Girolamo Mocetto (c. 1470 in Murano – after 1531 in Venice, Active 1490 – 1530)[1] was an Italian Renaissance painter, engraver, and stained glass designer.

He was heavily influenced by Domenico Morone, Giovanni Bellini, Bartolomeo Montagna, Cima da Conegliano, and especially Andrea Mantegna.

[3] He may well be the Hieronymo depentor ("painter Jerome") who joined the large team under Giovanni Bellini painting the council hall of the Doge's Palace, Venice in 1507, though he had probably been making engravings in a Bellini-esque style for many years before.

[2][3] Judith with the Head of Holofernes is his best known print and is based (reversed) on a work by Mantegna known from other copies, probably of the 1490s, with the Venetian-style landscape background only added in a second state, perhaps several years later.

[12] Of Mocetto's work in stained glass, his c.1515 panels for the Basilica di San Giovanni e Paolo are considered the most successful.
