# Bottigella Altarpiece [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [FOPPA, Vincenzo]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Wood panel ## Commentary Foppa and Mantegna studied together in Padua and Foppa went on to become the first important Renaissance painter in Lombardy. Working in Milan still dominated by International Gothic, Foppa painted the frescoes in the Portinari Chapel in S. Eustorgio \(1468\). His panel paintings and altarpieces reveal his knowledge of perspective and a melancholy seen in the delicate use of chiaroscuro. Apart from his work in Milan, Foppa was active in Pavia and in Liguria and molded painting throughout north-western Lombardy. His style, influenced by Mantegna, combines grace and realism. ## Related artworks - [Adoration of the Christ Child]() - [Altarpiece]() - [Crucifixion]() - [Madonna and Child]() - [Madonna and Child with an Angel]() - [Madonna and Child with St John the Baptist and St John the Evangelist]() - [Madonna of the Book]() - [Miracle of the Cloud and Miracle of the False Madonna]() - [Miracle of the False Madonna]() - [Portrait of an Elderly Gentleman]() - [Portrait of Giovanni Francesco Brivio]() - [St Augustine]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
