Author's biography |
Italian painter, active mainly in Ferrara, where with Cosm?Tur> and Ercole de' Robert> he was the leading artist of the period. His style has many affinities with that of Tura and the same background of development from Mantegn> and Piero della Francesca> but Cossa's work reveals a more genial temperament and relaxed urbanity. This found expression in the delightful frescoes of the Month> in the Palazzo Schifanoia at Ferrara; Cossa, Roberti, and Tura are all thought to have contributed to the scheme, but Cossa seems to have been the leading master. In the early 1470s he moved to Bologna, where he painted an altarpiece for the Griffoni Chapel in the church of S. Petronio (1473); the central pane> is in the National Gallery, London. |
