Niccolò dell'Abbate

Nicolò dell'Abbate ( alternative spellings: Niccolò dell'Abbate or Niccolò dell'Abate ), also known as knife Niccolò (? * 1509 or 1512 in Modena, Italy, † 1571 () in Fontainebleau, France) was an Italian Renaissance painter.

Life

Abbate began his career in his hometown of Modena, but his mature style developed only under the influence of Antonio da Correggio and Francesco Primatice in Bologna (1548-1552), where he at Palazzo Poggi (now Palazzo dell'Università ) landscape murals created. 1552, he was appointed to the court of King Henry II at Fontainebleau. In fact, his style on Mantegenas perspective art founded. By the end of his life he remained in France.

Together with Francesco Primatice he created huge murals with lyrical landscapes and themes of pagan mythology - most of them are lost. A number of his last, for King Charles IX. created works influenced to a large extent French painter of the 17th century such as Claude Lorrain and Nicolas Poussin. Some of his designs for tapestries served the industry of Limoges enamel painting as a template. Abbate is regarded as one of the first artists of the school of Fontainebleau.
