FERRAMOLA, FLORIANO (Fioravante), born latter half 15th century,
died in Brescia, July 3, 1528. Venetian school. While Brescia was
being sacked by Gaston de Foix (1512) he worked on regardless of
the assault until he was surprised by the plunderers at his easel.
Gaston compensated him for his losses and ordered a portrait of
himself. Among Ferramola’s few extant pictures, frescos, dated 1514,
and parts of an organ screen (1518) in S. M. di Lovere, frescos
in Casa Borgondio, Brescia, and a Christ carrying his Cross in
the Tosi Collection, Brescia, are characteristic specimens. They
show that he was educated under the influence of Foppa, Costa, and
Francia, and hardly suggest that he was a contemporary of Titian
and Pordenone.--C. & C., N. Italy, ii. 362; Vasari, xi. 263, N. 2.;

1447, died there, Feb. 8, 1510. Modenese school; history painter,

FERRARI, GAUDENZIO, born at Valduggia in 1481, died in Milan in
1546 or 1547. Lombard-Milanese school. Called by Vasari Gaudenzio
Milanese; asserted pupil of Stefano Scotto, Girolamo Giovenone,
and Perugino, whose influence is unmistakable in Gaudenzio’s fine
altarpiece (1514–15) in S. Gaudenzio, Novara. Affected also by
Raphael, whose fellow-student he had been, and by Leonardo da Vinci,
his later style acquired life and energy. He had considerable
power of expression, and used colour harmoniously, especially in
his frescos, but he was at times capricious and extravagant, and
his compositions are often overcrowded and wanting in beauty of
arrangement. He painted many works at Varallo, in 1504, 1513, 1524,
and 1531, the earliest of which are in S. M. di Loreto, and S. Marco,
the best in S. M. delle Grazie, where he decorated the choir with
scenes from the Passion, and painted the Presentation in the Temple,
Christ among the Doctors, and other subjects in chapels at the Sacro
Monte. In 1516 he went to Rome and is said to have worked in the
Farnesina with Raphael, after whose death he was associated with
Giulio Romano and Perino del Vaga. Other frescos by Ferrari may be
seen in the Brera, Milan, and in the Pilgrims’ Church at Saronno,
where he painted in 1534, as also a Flagellation in S. M. delle
Grazie, Milan. His last fresco (1542) is in S. Giuliano, on an island
in the Lago d’Orta. Among his pictures are the Baptism of Christ,
S. Celso, Milan; Martyrdom of S. Catherine, Brera, Milan; Christ
bearing the Cross, Canobbio; _Last_ Supper (1543, unfinished), S. M.
della Passione, Milan; S. Peter and Donor, Entombment, Turin Gallery,
Madonna, Oldenburg Gallery; St. George, and St. Anthony of Padua,

the Muses, Plato and Aristotle with their Scholars, Genoa University;
St. Michael, in Madonna delle Vigne, Genoa; others in Palazzo Balbi,
Genoa. His son, Lorenzo (1680–1744), was a still better imitator of
Correggio, and excelled in fresco; works in Palazzo Doria, Palazzo
