an Italian painter, was born,at Ferrara about 1450. He was instructed in the school of Francesco Francia, and then went to Bologna. His first work there was The Martyrdom of St. Sebastian, in the church of San Petronio. He also painted an altar-piece, which was considered very fine. He particularly excelled in his countenances of men, as may be seen from those of The Apostles at San Petronio, and from his St. Jerome. He died about 1530. See Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, s.v.; Spooner, Biog. Hist. of the Fine Arts, s.v.
