Leandro Bassano (Leandro da Ponte)
Born in : Venise - 1557 / Dead in : Venise, 1622
Son of Jacopo da Ponte (Bassano del Grappa)
Brother of Francesco Giambattista da Ponte (Francesco le Jeune)


Italian painter, one of the four sons of Jacopo Bassano. He worked in the Venetian studio of the family under Francesco, his elder brother who ran the Venetian branch of the workshop.

Biography   
Francesco committed suicide a few months after his father's death, then Leandro took over the workshop. He was the chief portrait painter of the family, and his portraits are closely allied to those of Tintoretto. Leandro both acquired some distinction and popularity working in Venice, he was knighted by the Doge in 1595 or 1596 (thereafter he sometimes added 'Eques' to his signature).
