Life

Born: early 1480's?

Died: before 1552

Biography:

Verdelot is presumably only a nickname, his actual family name being Deslouges. Attaignant published Sancta Maria succurre miseris in 1529 mentioning Deslouges, and subsequently reprinted it in 1543 labelling it under Verdelot. Verdelot is actually a municipality in the county of Rebais (Seine-et-Marne, France). Les loges is a hamlet in this municipality. The etymology of his name is more amply discussed in Etude bio-bibliographique sur Philippe Verdelot by Anne-Marie Bragard, published in 1964 as a thesis for the Brussels Science Academy.

Vasari states that in 1511 the artist Sebastiano del Piombo painted Verdelot, and the apparent age of the subject in 2 surviving paintings put forward as candidates for that portrait allows a guess at his birthdate. Verdelot was dead by 1552, and there is no evidence that he survived 1530 the siege of Florence and the ensuing plague.
