Brief Biography-Gaudenzio Ferrari, the Renaissance sculptor and painter, was born in Valduggia in Northern Italy in the 1470s or 1480s; his exact birth date is unknown. He may have studied under Gerolamo Giovenone and later in Milan under Giovanni Stefano Scotti, a painter of arabesques. However, Leonardo da Vinci strongly influenced his work. Between 1532 and 1535, he painted with one of his many pupils, Bernardino Luini. Ferrari spent his last years in Milan and died there in 1546. His most notable works are in chapels at the Sanctuary of Sacro Monte di Varallo where he painted the Stations of the Cross. |
