Biography
Nicolo dell' Abate was an Italian painter and sculptor born in Modena around 1509. He was a pupil of the famous painter Francesco Francia and later worked in the studio of Giulio Romano in Mantua. Abate was known for his frescoes, altarpieces, and portraits, which were characterized by their vibrant colors and dynamic compositions. He was also a skilled sculptor, creating works in marble and bronze. Abate's most famous works include the frescoes in the Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara and the altarpiece in the church of San Giovanni in Monte in Bologna. He died in Bologna in 1571. Abate's work was highly influential in the development of Mannerism, a style of art characterized by exaggerated poses and complex compositions.
