He grew up well off with his 4 siblings and widowed mother. He learned different painting and art techniques from various artists and teachers, which helped him create his own style. He started out mainly working in chiaroscuro, but his style continued to evolve throughout his life, as did the rest of art and expression in Europe. After completing just a few frescoes, he became very popular and was often asked to paint more in Italy, and later, other countries in Europe. He worked late into his life and continued to be influenced by other artists, many of whom were his friends.
