Italian painter, first documented in Venice in 1463. He began as a collaborator of Bartolomeo Vivarini. His works reveal his careful study of Giovanni Bellini and Andrea Mantegna. His most significant works include the Dead Christ Mourned in the cathedral of Cittadella, Virgin and Child in the Collezione Cini, Venice, and the Triptych now in the Gallerie dell'Accademia (1477-78). They disclose an artist who was familiar with the work of Luca Signorelli. //
