Ambrogio de Predis

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ambrogio de Predis (* around 1455 , † after 1508 ; also Giovanni Ambrogio de Predis ) was an Italian painter.

Life

De Predis was Lodovico Sforza's court painter in Milan until his expulsion in 1499; Court painter to the German king and later emperor Maximilian I and his second wife Bianca Maria Sforza in Innsbruck in 1493/94 and again in 1502 and 1506. He is mainly known as a portraitist.

In 1483 Ambrogio de Predis, his brother Evangelista and Leonardo da Vinci were commissioned to paint the altarpiece for San Francesco Grande in Milan. Ambrogio's role in the two resulting versions of the Madonna in the Rock is controversial; direct collaboration is only possible for the later version in the National Gallery, London, completed in 1508.
