Giulio Romano<\/a> (ca. 1499-1546) was an Italian Renaissance<\/a> painter working in the Mannerist<\/a> style of the sixteenth century. Giulio Romano’s birth name was Giulio di Pietro de’Gianuzzi or Giulio Pippi. As a child Giulio Romano entered Raphael<\/a>‘s workshop as an apprentice. Upon Raphael’s death in 1520, Giulio Romano and another apprentice, Gianfrancesco Penni<\/a>, became Raphael’s artistic heirs completing many of Raphael unfinished works.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four years after Raphael’s death, Giulio Romano arrived in Mantua to work for the Gonzaga<\/a> duchy. In 1496, Giulio Romano was joined by Penni. Giulio Romano remained in Mantua until his demise. Giulio Romano designed and decorated the extravagant ducal palace known as the Palazzo del Te,<\/em> and it is considered to be one of Romano’s most important works. His Sala dei Giganti<\/em> (Hall of Giants<\/em>) is an illusionistic<\/a> masterpiece done in trompe l’oeil<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among Giulio Romano’s pupils were Francesco Bacchiacca<\/a>, Niccolo dell’Abbate<\/a> and Brusasorci<\/a>. Francesco Primaticcio<\/a> was one of Giulio Romano’s studio assistants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
