Bernardino Campi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bernardino Campi (1522 - 1591) was an Italian Renaissance painter from Cremona. He is known as one of the teachers of Sofonisba Anguissola. In Cremona, his extended family were the main artistic studios. Giulio Campi and Antonio Campi, half-brothers, were distant relatives of Bernardino; the latter is gnerally considered the most talented of the family. All were active and prominent painters locally. Influences on Bernardino's are likely diverse, including those from local Cremonese such as Camillo Boccaccino, to artists from artists from neighboring regions such as Correggio, Parmigianino and Giulio Romano.
