Bartolomeo Veneto (1502–31) was an Italian painter who lived in Venice, the Veneto and Lombardy. During his time in Venice, he studied under Gentile Bellini. The little information available about Bartolomeo's life has been gained from his signatures, dates, and writing. His best-known works are portraits or pictures with portrait-like characters. Bartolomeo's later works, and especially those done on commission in Milan, show an influence from the artist Leonardo da Vinci.

Bartolomeo’s early works include small devotional pictures. Bartolomeo changed his subject matter to suit his patrons as the interest in portraiture grew in Venice and the Veneto. His portraits became very famous and in his later life, Bartolomeo gained many commissions in Northern Italy.
