Altobello Melone

1490-1543

Cremonese School. Active probably c. 1505 - c. 1530/40. His dated frescoes in Cremona, commissioned in 1516, indicate a reciprocal influence between him and Romanino. Earlier attributable paintings show the influence of Ercole Roberti and Boccaccino. At times he was influenced by Lotto, by Dürer's engravings, and by other Northern artists, such as Altdorfer, and at all times he reflected some­thing of the lyricism of Giorgione.
