Bernardino Fungai (* 1460 in Siena, † 1516 in Siena) was an Italian painter who painted in the style of the Sienese school.

Life

Was baptized as Bernardino di Cristofano Nicholo d' Antonio di Pietro da Fonghaia. His name also appears in the notation Bernardino fungai. He probably learned his trade by 1482 at Benvenuto di Giovanni. Other influences seem to come from Matteo di Giovanni, Stefano di Giovanni Giovanni di Paolo and Sassetta. His students included Giacomo Pacchiarotti. For the first time in appearance Fungai joined at the beginning of the 1490s, when he produced frescoes in the dome of the Cathedral of Siena. Subsequent influences on the artistic work be attributed Francesco di Giorgio, Perugino, Pinturicchio and Luca Signorelli.
