Biography

Italian painter from Umbria. He was the pupil of Pinturicchio and we know from Vasari that he worked with him in Rome. He may have been involved with Pinturicchio in the decoration of the ceiling of the Piccolomini Library in the Cathedral at Siena. He has left several pictures at Siena and Gubbio. These are all Umbrian in treatment, and show the influence of Pinturicchio, but they lack his delicate drawing. However, he remains a shadowy artistic personality.
