This small and unimportant school includes Boccaccio Boccaccino
(fl. 1460-1518?), who was formed on various Venetian and Milanese
influences. The _Holy Family_ (No. 1168) which is credited to him, but
not now exhibited, seems to be an unattributable panel by some artist
of the Lombard school. This school includes an early-sixteenth-century
imitator who has received the significant name of “Pseudo-Boccaccino,”
but is not here represented.
The _Mater Dolorosa_ (No. 1202) appears to be by Bernardino Campi,
a mediocre sixteenth-century painter of the Lombard and Cremonese
schools. Sofonisba Anguissola (1528-1625), a female artist, was his
pupil and the wife of Orazio Lomellini.
