-
Though Lorenzo Costa trained in Ferrara he left for Bologna in his early 20s
to work for the Bentivoglio Court. Soon he was in partnership with
Francesco Francia (c.1450-1517/18).
He succeeded Mantegna (c.1431-1506) as Court Painter at Mantua in 1506. He painted
two Allegories for Isabella d'Este (Paris, Louvre).
In later life, he was plagued by ill-health which resulted in Giulio Romano eclipsing him.
Works of his can be found in the Royal Collection.
