Bernardino Bergognone

Bernardino Borgognone (1455/60–1525) was an Italian Renaissance painter of the Milanese school.

He was the chief assistant to his brother and fellow painter Ambrogio Bergognone on important projects in Lombardy in the 1490s.

Their use of mordant (the adhesive to which the gold leaf is attached) gilding in their art is distinctive.

[1] Bernardino's style of painting appears influenced by fellow Lombard painter Vincenzo Foppa.

[1] This work shows stylistic similarities with his brother Ambrogio at the time of their collaboration at the Certosa di Pavia, composed of the church and convent of the Carthusians.
