Francesco Squarcione

Italian, 1397–1468

Francesco Squarcione was an Italian Early Renaissance painter. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Gemäldegalerie Berlin. Francesco Squarcione was born in Padua.

Francesco Squarcione (c. 1395 – after May 1468) was an Italian artist from Padua. Squarcione is considered by some to be the head of the first independent school for painters. His pupils included Andrea Mantegna (with whom he had many legal battles), Cosimo Tura and Carlo Crivelli.

There are only two works signed by him: the Madonna and Child (now in Berlin) and the Lazara Altarpiece (now in Padua).
