Bernardino Lanino

Bernardino Lanino (1509-1582) was an Italian Renaissance painter and draftsman known for his detailed drawings. He was active primarily in the city of Novara and is known for his masterful handling of light and shadow, particularly in his drawings of religious scenes, like the "Holy Family" with St. Anthony and St. Jerome. His works display an attention to detail in the depiction of both human figures and the architectural settings. Lanino's draftsmanship, showcased in works like the "Flight into Egypt," influenced by Raphael, is characterized by a clear and precise line, capturing the movement and emotion of his subjects.
