Ansuino da Forlì

Italian original Cite

ANSUINO DA FORLÌ. - Painter, he appears for the first time in Padua as a collaborator (1434-37) of Fra Filippo Lippi in the chapel of the Podestà, now destroyed. In the Ovetari chapel (destroyed in 1944), he later executed the frescoes: The Sermon of St. Christopher; Christopher Leaving the King; The Saint in the Service of the Devil. A.'s painting retained Tuscan characteristics; and for this reason he occupies a singular place in the Paduan school, as a precursor, together with Niccolò Pizzolo (v.), of Andrea Mantegna.
