Giovanni Ambrogio Bevilacqua

Giovanni Ambrogio Bevilacqua, also known as il Liberale Bevilacqua (active by 1481 to at least 1512) was an Italian painter active in Lombardy in a late-medieval or early Renaissance style. He was a pupil of Vincenzo Foppa of Milan.[1]

Biography

Bevilacqua was apparently born in Milan to a carpenter named Pietro. By 1481, he was noted under the patronage of Duke Francesco Sforza. He signed in 1485 a fresco depicting Saints Roch, Sebastian, and Christopher and perhaps also completed a Madonna and Saints with Donors for the parish church of Landriano.[2]
