Antonio da Monza

Italian original Cite

ANTONIO da MONZA. - Miniaturist, perhaps also an engraver, a Franciscan active in Milan at the end of the 15th century. His only known work is a signed pontifical leaf, which belonged to Alexander VI, today in the Albertina in Vienna, representing Pentecost. The miniatures of the Vita of Giacomo Sforza in the National Library in Paris can also be attributed to him; a Pontifical, Cod. Ottoboniano in the Vatican; the Book of Hours of Bona of Savoy in the British Museum in London, and a diploma in S. Maria delle Grazie in Milan. Stylistically he depends on the followers of Leonardo, particularly on Luini.
