About Bernardino Bergognone
Lived 1455 – 1525 (aged 69–70). Bernardino Bergognone was a painter.
Bernardino Borgognone (1455/60–1525) was an Italian Renaissance painter of the Milanese school.
Bernardino grew up and worked in the Lombardy region. He was the chief assistant to his brother and fellow painter Ambrogio Bergognone on important projects in Lombardy in the 1490s. Their use of mordant (the adhesive to which the gold leaf is attached) gilding in their art is distinctive. Bernardino's style of painting appears influenced by fellow Lombard painter Vincenzo Foppa.
The National Gallery, London, has one of his works: The Virgin and Child with Two Angels.
