(active 1389, Bologna, d. ca. 1448, Venezia)

Virgin and Child

1420-22

Born in Bologna, Zanino became one of the major Venetian painters of the first quarter of the fifteenth century. It has been suggested that Gentile da Fabriano, active in Venice from 1408, was dependent on the example of Zanino early in his career and that Zanino was instrumental in transmitting an Emilian style to him.
