Girolamo Mazzola Bedoli

Girolamo Mazzola Bedoli (c. 1500–1569) was an Italian painter active in the Mannerist style.

Bedoli was born in Parma in a family coming from Viadana in Lombardy.

He painted along with his father in law the Immaculate Conception for the Oratorio della Concezione (now in Parma Gallery).

Freedberg describes him in his masterpiece of the Annunciation as resembling Parmigianino in the same way Bronzino reflected the elder Pontormo, equal in skill and refinement, but lacking the original abstracting poetry of the image.

He produced murals, portraits, designed tombs, and altarpieces — the diverse uses probably trained him best as a decorative artist.
