Francesco Raibolini Francesco Raibolini (c.1450– 1517), called Francia, was an Bolognese painter, goldsmith, and medalist. He is first mentioned as a painter in 1486 and
his earliest known work is the Felicini Madonna, which is signed
and dated 1494. He worked in partnership with Lorenzo Costa, and
was influenced by Costa's style, until 1506, when Francia became
Court Painter in Mantua, after which time he was influenced more
by Perugino and Raphael. Raphael's Santa Cecilia is supposed to
have produced such a feeling of inferiority in Francia that it caused
him to die of depression (Murray, p. 146). |
