Biography

His painterly, soft version of Mannerism is evident in the Annunciation and Four Saints on the organ shutters of the church of the Madonna di Campagna at San Michele Extra, in the province of Verona, and also in the large Finding of Moses (1584; Verona, Castelvecchio). The Flagellation of Christ (c. 1596; San Michele Extra, Madonna di Campagna) has the same physical types and gestures but is transformed by a delicate luminism.

The late works, dating from 1598–1600 onwards, approach a Baroque style and display a more intense religious feeling. In the Giusti Altarpiece of the Virgin in Glory with Saints (1598; Verona, Sant'Anastasia), Felice used agitated gestures, although the figures’ proportions are more normal; in the Christ and the Virgin Appearing to Franciscan Saints (1600; Bolzano, Chiesa dei Cappuccini), this agitation is replaced by a more effective calm. Felice was locally celebrated for his refinement, delicacy of form and cool tones. He was the teacher of several Veronese Baroque painters, including Alessandro Turchi, Pasquale Ottini, Santo Creara, and Marcantonio Bassetti. Some of Riccio's pupils died during the Plague of 1630, including Girolamo Vernigo (dei Paesi), Bartolommeo Farfusola, Ottavo delle Comare, Girolamo Maccacaro, Paolo Zuccaro, Michelangelo Bozzoletta, and Zeno Donato.
