Francesco Vecellio (c. 1475 – 1560) was a Venetian painter of the Italian Renaissance. Vecellio was born in Pieve di Cadore, in the Republic of Venice, in either 1475 or 1483;[1] he was the elder brother and close collaborator of the painter Tiziano Vecellio ("Titian").[2] He was a soldier, and fought in battles at Vienna and at Verona.[1] He then worked as a painter; in 1530 he painted the shutters of the organ of the church of San Salvador in Venice.[2] From about 1534 he worked as a wood-engraver.[1] He painted an Annunciation for San Nicola di Bari, now in the Gallerie dell'Accademia, along with Madonna and Child with Saint Jerome and Saint Dorothy (Glasgow).[citation needed]
