Pomponio Amidano

Giulio Cesare Amidano (c 1560s - c. 1630) was an Italian painter of the late-Renaissance style. He was also known as Pomponio Amidano, in part because he is either confused with or was a pupil of "Pomponio Allegri"; others claim he was a pupil of Francesco Mazzola (Parmigianino). Much of his biography is poorly documented. He is said to have been born and died in Parma from the plague. His masterpiece was painted for the church of the Madonna Quartiere at Parma.
