Republic of Venice

Bartolomeo Montagna is a Republic of Venice Early Renaissance painter. 16 works are cataloged here, principally at Ashmolean Museum, most of them oil paintings.

Bartolomeo (or Bartolommeo) Montagna (UK: , US: , Italian: ; 1450?– 11 October 1523) was an Italian Renaissance painter who mainly worked in Vicenza. He also produced works in Venice, Verona, and Padua. He is most famous for his many Madonnas and his works are known for their soft figures and depiction of eccentric marble architecture. He is considered to be heavily influenced by Giovanni Bellini, in whose workshop he might have worked around 1470. Benedetto Montagna, a productive engraver, was his son and pupil and active until about 1540. He was mentioned in Vasari's Lives as a student of Andrea Mantegna but this is widely contested by art historians.
