Bartolomeo (or Bartolommeo) Montagna (c. 1450– 1523),

was an Italian Renaissance painter who mainly worked in Vicenza. He also produced works in Venice, Verona, and Padua. He was born Bartolomeo Cincani and later changed his name to Bartolomeo Montagna. He is most famous for his many Madonnas and his works are known for their soft figures and depiction of eccentric marble architecture. He was mentioned in Vasari's Lives as a student of Andrea Mantegna but this is widely contested by art historians. The identity of his wife is unknown, but they had three sons. One of his sons, Benedetto Montagna, was also an artist famous for his engravings. His other two sons, Filippo and Paolo are mentioned in some contracts but absent from his will. Bartolomeo Montagna died on October 11, 1523. He left the majority of his possessions and his practice to his son, Benedetto.
