Girolamo Tessari

[2] While a minor figure in 16th-century Paduan painting, Tessari took part in almost all the most important decorative enterprises in Padua's churches and oratories.

In 1513 Tessari frescoed the Transit of Saint Anthony also for the Scuola del Santo; and in 1515, the Miracle of the Mule.

[3][4] He was hired in 1518 to do some incidental work to complete the altarpiece of the chapel of S. "Sebastiano in the basilica that was left unfinished by Luca Antonio Busati.

[5] In 1542 he completed the frescoes of the "Stories of the Life of St. Benedict" in the main cloister of S. Giustina, left unfinished by Bernardino Parentino.

Among his many works in Padua are a number of fresco decorations, including frescoes at the Basilica of Sant'Antonio da Padova; in the apse of the Church of Santa Maria in Vanzo (painted circa 1520); at the Scuoletta del Carmine; at the Oratory of the Confraternita del Redentore (1537); and a Deposition in the Chapter Hall of the Abbey of Praglia.
