Bartolomeo Montagna
Italian painter and architect
Years: 1450 - 1523
Bartolomeo Montagna (1450–1523) is an Italian painter and architect who works 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.
He is also considered to be heavily influenced by Giovanni Bellini, in whose workshop he might have worked around 1490.
Benedetto Montagna, a productive engraver, is his son and pupil and active unti past 1540.
Marcello Fogolino is one of his pupils.
