FRANCO, BOLOGNESE, end of 13th and early part of 14th century.
Bolognese school; mentioned by Dante as a miniaturist in connection

at Bologna in 1268. A Madonna Enthroned, in the collection of Prince
Ercolani, Bologna, bears his name and the date 1312. It has been
repainted, but it seems a picture of the 14th century with some of
the affected grace of movement peculiar to the artists of Gubbio and
Fabriano.--C. & C., Italy, ii. 206; Siret, 333; Cibo, Scuola Umbra,
