Vincenzo Foppa

Vincenzo Foppa (c. 1430 – c. 1515) was born near Brescia in the Republic of Venice. His training as a painter may have been in nearby Padua, which would account for similarities in his work both to that of Mantegna and that of Crivelli. He moved to Pavia c. 1456 to work for the Duke of Milan and became one of the leading painters of the region before the arrival of Leonardo. He returned to Brescia in 1489.
