_Zaganelli_ (Ferrarese: about 1500).
The only known work by a master who signs himself Bernardino
(of) Cotignola (in the Duchy of Ferrara). He was a brother of
Francesco Zaganelli, and is believed to have worked towards the
end of the fifteenth and the beginning of the sixteenth century.
This picture formed the chief panel of an altar-piece formerly in the
church of the Carmine at Pavia, and thus described by Bartoli:
In the twelfth chapel (is) an ancient picture divided into
six compartments, of which the three larger exhibit, in the
centre St. Sebastian, and at the sides St. Nicholas and St.
Catherine of Alexandria, while the three smaller which are
above represent the body of the Redeemer supported by two
angels in the centre, and at the sides the Virgin Mary and the
Announcing Angel. This (altar-piece) is the work of Bernardino
da Cotignola, who has affixed to it his name on a feigned label.
For the story of St. Sebastian, see under 669.
