        Painter


      • Bartolommeo Montagna was the principal painter of Vicenza in the late 15th century. He is first documented in 1459 and is recorded as living in Venice in 1469. He was then presumably training as a painter, since he is first mentioned as such in Vicenza in 1474. His works are markedly influenced by Giovanni Bellini, the Vivarini, and Antonello, especially his sacra conversazione of 1499 (Milan, Brera).

        There are examples in Vicenza, and in Amsterdam (Rijksmus.), Baltimore (Walters Gall.), Bergamo, Berlin, Budapest, Columbus Ohio, Dublin, Glasgow, Liverpool, London (NG, Courtauld Inst.), Milan (Brera, Poldi-Pezzoli, Castello), Naples, New York (Met. Mus.), Ottawa, Oxford, Paris (Louvre), Philadelphia (Johnson), Rome (Borghese), San Francisco, Springfield Mass., Venice, Verona, Washington (NG), Williamstown Mass. and Worcester Mass.
