Fra Carnovale

Fra Carnovale

Fra Carnovale (c. 1420-1425 – 1484) was an Italian painter of the Quattrocento, active mainly in Urbino.

He is cited by a number of names including "Bartolomeo di Giovanni Corradini" or "Fra' Carnevale" or "Bartolomeo Coradini".

He was born in Urbino, and entered the order of Dominicans in 1449 under the name of "Fra’ Carnevale" or "Carnovale". He was a pupil of the Ferrarese painter Antonio Alberti. Farquhar claims he was the teacher of Giovanni Santi. Between 1445-1446, he worked in the studio of Filippo Lippi in Florence. He is cited by Vasari in his Vite as "Carnovale da Urbino". He also was an architect for the portals of San Domenico in Urbino.
