FOPPA, VINCENZO

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 628 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FLA-FRA
FOPPA, VINCENZO , Italian painter, was born near Brescia. The
dates
  of his
birth
  and death used to be given as 1400 and 1492; but there is now good reason for substituting 1427 and 1515. He settled in
Pavia
  towards 1456, and was the head of a Lombard school of
painting
  which subsisted up to the advent of Leonardo da Vinci. In 1489 he returned to Brescia. His contemporary reputation was very considerable, his merit in
perspective
  and foreshortening being recognized especially. Among his noted works are a fresco in the Brera Gallery,
Milan
 , the " Martyrdom of St Sebastian "; and a " Crucifixion " in the
Carrara
  gallery, Bergamo, executed in 1455. He worked much in
Milan
  and in Genoa, but many of his paintings are now lost.
See C. J. Ffoulkes and R. Maiocchi, Vincenzo Foppa (1910).
