Biography
Born in Padua, hence his nickname, he was the son of the local painter and architect Dario Varotari the Elder, who likely provided his earliest training. Early paintings, such as The incredulity of St. Thomas,[3] Virgin and Child,[4] and the Pentecost[5] show the influence of Titian. By the year 1614 he had relocated to Venice. He is known to have traveled to Rome twice (mid-1610s and 1625), where he was much employed in producing copies of major paintings from major Renaissance artists of the prior generation.[6] He painted a major battle canvas in The victory of the Carnutesi (Celts) over the Normans’’[7]
