- Alessandro Araldi
Alessandro Araldi (c. 1460 – c. 1529) was an Italian painter of the
Renaissance , active mainly inParma .Little is known of his biography. He apparently assisted with contemporary
Cristoforo Caselli (il Temperello). His work shows the influences of early Venetian Renaissance painters such asGiovanni Bellini andVivarini , but alsoLorenzo Costa fromFerrara . He painted frescoes in theBenedictine monastery of San Paolo. He also painted two scenes with the story of St. Catherine, the "Dispute before the emperor Maximilian" and "St. Catherine and St. Jerome", including an odd Annunciation (1514), for the abbess Giovanna da Piacenza (1514).Antonio Allegri (Correggio) would complete his own masterpiece frescoes for the abbess in a strikingly different, and for the age, more modern, style.References
