Bartolomeo Cincani, called Montagna. Vicentine-Venetian School. Born probably 1453/54: died 1523. He was probably trained in the studio of Alvise Vivarini in Venice, but was settled in Vicenza by 1480. The influence of Antonello da Messina and Giovanni Bellini, as well as of Alvise Vivarini is prominent in his early work. Later, as proven by his frescoes in the Scuola del Santo at Padua, his style became more Giorgionesque.
