Italian painter and draughtsman. He was, together with Cosimo Tura and
Francesco del Cossa, one of the most important painters working in
Ferrara and Bologna in the 15th century. Although many of his works have
been destroyed, those that survive show that he raised the depiction of
human emotion and narrative drama to remarkable heights. From 1486 he
worked as court painter to Ercole I d’Este, Duke of Ferrara.
