BRAMANTINO (Bramantino da Milano),
born in Milan(?), died there about 1535.
Lombard school; real name Bartolommeo
Suardi; probably taught in local schools of
Milan, afterward journeyman to Bramante.
Among the earliest pictures assigned to
him are Crucifixion, Municipio, Milan; Circumcision
(dated 1491), Louvre; and Dead
Christ, S. Sepolcro, Milan. He followed
Bramante to Rome in the beginning of the
16th century, and was employed by Julius
II. in the Camera dell' Eliodoro, but returned
to Milan after the expulsion of the
French from Lombardy, and painted there
probably until near 1536, in which year his
heirs are mentioned. All his later works
show the influence of Leonardo da Vinci.
Among his best are: Madonna and Angels,
Brera, Milan; Head of St. John the Baptist,
St. Jerome, Madonna and Saints, Ambrosiana,
Milan; Flight into Egypt, Church
of the Madonna del Sasso, Locarno; Pietà
over portal of S. Sepolcro; St. Sebastian,
