Biography
Early life
Francesco Vecellio was born around 1485. He was trained to be an Assassin at an early age and around 1498, he was an understudy to Assassin Perotto Calderon.
The same year, Francesco was sent to Agnadello with a group of other brothers to stop another Assassin from retrieving the Shroud of Eden. Little did he know the Assassin was actually Perotto, who wanted to use the Shroud to save his and Lucrezia Borgia's son from death. When Perotto met and faced off with the other Assassins, Perotto struck Francesco, not knowing who he was. Francesco was close to death, but felt the Shroud's presence around him and was given his strength again.
He received his first high notoriety mission in 1510, which was killing Niccolò di Pitigliano and freeing the population of Lonigo from Pitigliano's rule. After learning what he had to know about his target and slowly destroying his influence over Lonigo, Francesco assassinated Di Pitigliano.[1]
Painting career
Alongside his Assassin life, Francesco pursued a painting career during the 1520's to 1530's in Cadore, but he would never become as succesfull as his younger brother Tiziano Vecellio. In 1524, he signed an altarpiece for San Vito in Cadore. During the 1540's, he painted a polyptych in Candide. In the late 1540s, he painted the organ shutters of San Salvatore in Venice. He painted an Annunciation for San Nicola di Bari, now in the Accademia.
He died in 1560.
