Bartolomeo Montagna
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bartolomeo Montagna (1450? - 1523) was an Italian painter and architect who worked in Vicenza and Venice. He putatively was born near Brescia . His initial training was presumably under Domenico Morone in Verona, where he seems to have acquired a late Quattrocento refinement, similar to that of Carpaccio and Mantegna. The figures have a strict organization in space, and the peaceful expressions of classic detachment. Benedetto Montagna, a productive engraver, was his son and pupil and active till past 1540.
