He painted a St. Bartholomew for the cathedral of Bassano, an altarpiece for the church of San Giovanni, and a Descent of the Holy Ghost for the village church of Oliero. Francesco died in Bassano in 1539. His son Jacopo da Ponte gained prominence as a painter in Venice and its Republic. One of Jacopo's sons was the painter Francesco da Ponte the Younger.
