He worked at the court of Mantua for the Gonzagas and at that of Milan for Francesco Sforza; besides various minor works, a Missal of his remains in Mantua and a Bible in the Vatican Library, which, for its exquisite decorative taste, earned him fame as one of the most notable illuminators of the 15th century.
