Andrea Busati

Andrea Busati di Stefano (fl. 1503-1528)[1] was an Italian painter of Albanian origin[2] during the Renaissance period. Andrea was the son of Stefano Busati who had fled to Venice from Albania[3][4]. He was a follower of the Giovanni Bellini, is the author of a signed St. Mark enthroned between SS. Francis and Andrew, painted about 1510, and now in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice. A figure of a Saint in the Vicenza Gallery is also ascribed to him.
