Niccolò Frangipane

The Holy Family with the Infant St John, 1585

Niccolò Frangipane (active 1565–1597) was an Italian artist of the late Renaissance period.

Life

Frangipane was born in Padua. He executed a number of sacred subjects, but was more successful in mythological scenes, particularly the legends of Bacchus. In the church of San Bartolomeo in Padua is a depiction of St Francis of Assisi (1588); and at Pesaro, an altar-piece in San Stefano in Pesaro. Among his masterworks is an Assumption, in the church of the Conventuali, at Rimini.
