AMADEO, Giovanni Antonio b. ca. 1447, Pavia, d. 1522, Milano Italian Giovanni Antonio Amadeo was an Italian early Renaissance sculptor, architect, and engineer. In 1466 he was engaged as a sculptor, with his brother Protasio, at the famous Certosa, near Pavia. He was a follower of the style of Bramantino of Milan, and he represents, like him, the Lombard direction of the Renaissance. He practised cutting deeply into marble, arranging draperies in cartaceous folds, and treating surfaces flatly even when he sculptured figures in high relief. Excepting in these technical points he differed from his associates completely, and so far surpassed them that he may be ranked with the great Tuscan artists of his time, which can be said of hardly any other North-Italian sculptor. Marble Certosa, Pavia ANDREA DEL CASTAGNO b. 1423, Castagno, d. 1457, Firenze Italian Andrea del Castagno (or Andrea di Bartolo di Bargilla) was an Italian painter from Florence, influenced chiefly by Tommaso Masaccio and Giotto di Bondone. His works include frescoes in Sant'Apollonia in Florence and the painted equestrian monument of Niccolò da Tolentino (1456) in the Cathedral in Florence. He in turn influenced the Ferrarese school of Cosmè Tura, Francesco del Cossa and Ercole de' Roberti.

His nickname derived from his classically inspired bronze statuettes, many of which were versions of famous antique statues such as the Apollo Belvedere (he also restored ancient sculpture). He visited Rome in the 1490s, but worked mainly in and around Mantua, particularly for members of the Gonzaga family and Isabella d'Este.

His father was Jacopo Bellini, his brother was Gentile Bellini, and his brother-in-law was Andrea Mantegna. He is considered to have revolutionized Venetian painting, moving it towards a more sensuous and colouristic style. Through the use of clear, slow-drying oil paints, Giovanni created deep, rich tints and detailed shadings. His sumptuous coloring and fluent, atmospheric landscapes had a great effect on the Venetian painting school, especially on his pupils Giorgione and Titian.

He was a pupil of Vincenzo Foppa to whose serene style and composition he remained true. His careful rendition of background detail also suggests a Flemish influence, while Provencal painting may be seen as a source for his figure style.

For much of the last quarter of the fifteenth century Biagio was active in Faenza, but his style continued to reflect Florentine innovations. His paintings also demonstrate influences -- particularly in the decorative elements -- from early Netherlandish painting.

Less than a hundred years later, this movement, under the patronage of Lorenzo de' Medici, was characterized by Giorgio Vasari as a golden age, a thought, suitably enough, he expressed at the head of his Vita of Botticelli. His posthumous reputation suffered until the late 19th century; since then his work has been seen to represent the linear grace of Early Renaissance painting. Among his best known works are The Birth of Venus and Primavera.

He is best known for a cycle of nine paintings, The Legend of Saint Ursula. His style was somewhat conservative, showing little influence from the Humanist trends that transformed Italian Renaissance painting during his lifetime. He was influenced by the style of Antonello da Messina and Early Netherlandish art. For this reason, and also because so much of his best work remains in Venice, his art has been rather neglected by comparison with other Venetian contemporaries, such as Giovanni Bellini or Giorgione.

It is certainly true that he was overwhelmingly influenced by van Eyck, and his copies and variations of his work helped to spread the Eyckian style.

His paintings are mostly quiet devotional scenes, often in landscape settings, in the manner of Giovanni Bellini.

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.

Like other artists of the time, Mantegna experimented with perspective, e.g., by lowering the horizon in order to create a sense of greater monumentality. His flinty, metallic landscapes and somewhat stony figures give evidence of a fundamentally sculptural approach to painting. He also led a workshop that was the leading producer of prints in Venice before 1500.
