Battista de Lutero, called Battista Dossi. Ferrarese School. Mentioned from 1517; died 1548. He visited Rome but was chiefly influenced by his brother Dosso Dossi and like him was trained in Venice in the Giorgione-Titian circle. Even more than Dosso, Battista seems to have been influenced by the landscape in Northern paintings, such as those of Scorel. He was active in Ferrara.
