Lorenzo Costa, an Italian Renaissance painter, was renowned for his work in Ferrara and Bologna. Influenced by the Bolognese School and possibly trained under Cosimo Tura, he created notable works such as the Bentivoglio Altarpiece and frescoes in San Giacomo Maggiore. Costa’s close ties with Francesco Francia and his role as court painter for Marquis Francesco Gonzaga and Isabella d’Este in Mantua bolstered his reputation. His mythological paintings and collaborations with other artists underscored his significant impact on the artistic landscape of his era.
