Bernardino Gatti
Bernardino Gatti (* 1495 or 1496 in Pavia , † February 22, 1576 in Cremona ) was an Italian painter .
Gatti, called il Sojaro ("cooper"), was formed after Antonio da Correggio , worked in Pavia, Cremona and Parma, where he died in 1575. He was particularly lucky to have imitated his role model in the tenderness and loveliness of the faces of virgins and children. Parma, Piacenza and Cremona have a large number of his works.
For the main altar of San Pietro in Cremona he painted the birth of Christ and for the refectory in 1552 the miracle of Christ with the five loaves and two fish. At Piacenza around 1553 he carried out St. George, killing the lindworm. In the church of the Madonna della Steccata in Parma he depicted the Assumption of Mary in fresco in 1566. His main work is a Madonna with donors in the cathedral in Pavia.
