He was the grandson of the Veronese 15th-century painter
Giovanni Badile. He trained with his uncle Francesco Badile (died 1544). He was the first master of
Paolo Veronese, and later his father-in-law. Veronese later moved to train with
Giovanni Francesco Caroto. Badile also trained
Giovanni Battista Zelotti. Badile is described as continuing the "retardataire" tradition of Caroto well past the 1540s. His masterpiece is the altarpiece for
Santi Nazaro e Celso of a
Madonna and Saints (1540); another notable work is his
Resurrection of Lazarus for the chapel of Santa Croce in the church of
San Bernardino. Other works are found in towns of the Veneto. He was partially influenced by the
Brescian painter
Alessandro Bonvicino (called il Moretto). ==References==
