Zenale
Bernardo Zenale
c. 1450/1460-1526
Lombard School. Born c. 1450/60; died 1526. In 1485 he was working with Butinone on the altarpiece still in the Cathedral at Treviglio. He was later active chiefly in Milan. He was influenced by Foppa and by Bramante, who perhaps inspired his interest in perspective and architecture. He wrote a treatise on architecture, had a reputation as architect, and made frequent use of Bramantesque architectural settings in his paintings. Although Leonardo's innovations had some influence on him, he remained true to traditional Lombard style.(1) References: (1) Recently a strong case has been made by M. Ferrari (in Paragone, no. 127, 1960, pp. 34 ff.) for the identification with Zenale of the artist hitherto called Pseudo Civerchio or Master of the XL Monogram, thus greatly expanding the known oeuvre of Zenale and exemplifying his relationship with Bramantino and Leonardo.
