The artist was previously only known as the Master of the Scenes from the Life of the Virgin, until the works could be properly attributed to Giovanni Francesco da Rimini.
Life
He was born in Rimini, and documents have him in Padua between 1441 and 1444, and several times in Bologna between 1459 and 1469. He painted primarily religious works for church commissions. His style and depictions of depth in some of his works infer that he may have been influenced by the sculptures of Agostino di Duccio.[1] He died in Bologna in 1469.
