Biography
Born to a daughter of Jacopo Bassano, and trained with his uncles Gerolamo and Giovanni Battista (del Ponte) Bassano. The church of Santa Eulalia in Borso del Grappa has an Apollonio painting of Christ ascending above Saints Giustina, John the Evangelist, and Prosdocimus.[1] Giacomo trained the painters Nicola de' Nicoli[2] and Marcantonio Dordi. His nephew Marcantonio Apollonio (died 1729) is described as a mediocre painter.[3]
