Sebastiano Florigerio was born in 1510 at Conegliano. He was a pupil of Pellegrino and is thought to have married his daughter Aurelia. His first altar-piece was painted in 1525 for the church of Santa Maria di Villanuova and in 1529 he painted by commission the altar-piece of St. George and the Dragon for the church of San Giorgio of Udine. Soon after this he went to Padua where he painted the portal of the Palazzo del Capitaneo and seems to have remained in that city until 1533.
