Everything about Lorenzo Costa totally explained
Lorenzo Costa (
1460 –
March 5 1535) was an
Italian painter of the
Renaissance. He was born at
Ferrara, but moved to
Bologna by the his early twenties, and would be more influential to the
Bolognese school of painting. However, many artists worked in both nearby cities, and thus others consider him a product of the
School of Ferrara. There are claims that he trained with
Cosimo Tura.
In 1483 he painted his famous
Madonna and Child with the Bentivoglio family, and other
frescoes, on the walls of the
Bentivoglio chapel in
San Giacomo Maggiore, and he followed this with many other works. He was a great friend of
Francesco Francia, who was much influenced by him. In 1509 he went to
Mantua, where his patron was the Marquis
Francesco Gonzaga, and he eventually died there. His
Madonna and Child enthroned is in the National Gallery, London, but his chief works are at Bologna. His sons,
Ippolito and Girolamo, were also painters, and so was Girolamo's son, Lorenzo the younger (1537-1583). Many contemporaries who worked with or below him include
Cosimo Tura,
Dosso Dossi,
Ludovico Mazzolino and the painter, Niccolò Pisano (1470 – 1538).
