Francesco Beccaruzzi (c. 1492–1563)  

• Was an Italian painter of the Renaissance era.
• Born in Conegliano between 1490 and 1493.
• The son of a poor craftsman.
• He may have been a pupil of Cima, recent studies date his training back to artistic personalities working in the Conegliano area around 1500: Giannantonio De Sacchis (known as Pordenone), Francesco da Milano; and in Treviso: Titian painted the Annunciation in the Chapel of the Cathedral in 1520.

• Settled in Treviso in 1519, where he married in 1540.
• Like most painters of the time, Beccaruzzi never signed his works, so attributions must be made with the support of sources derived from old archives or following stylistic investigations carried out by scholars. 

• There are over fifty documented works attributed to Beccaruzzi, many of which are portraits, but also some religious subjects. 

• Died in Treviso in July 1563.
