Description: (Painter)
Bartolomeo Montagna, an Italian Renaissance painter, is known for his works in Vicenza, Venice, Verona, and Padua. His paintings, particularly Madonnas, feature soft figures and eccentric marble architecture. Influenced by Giovanni Bellini, he may have worked in Bellini's workshop. His son and pupil, Benedetto Montagna, was a skilled engraver. Although Vasari cited him as a student of Andrea Mantegna, this claim is contested among art historians. Montagna's professional life showcases his contributions to Renaissance art through his distinctive style and artistic pursuits.
