biography

Sebastiano Filippi called Bastianino, Last Judgment , fresco, 1577–1581, apse Cathedral of Ferrara

He was born in Ferrara as the son of the painter Camillo Filippi , who worked under Dosso Dossi .

He probably first apprenticed to his father and brother ( Cesare Filippi ), and it is believed that he worked with them when they painted a processional standard Gonfalone for the Oratorio dell'Annunziata in Ferrara. As a young man he left Ferrara, which was dominated by Dosso Dossi, Il Garofalo and Girolamo da Carpi , to find work in Rome.

In Rome, Jacopo Bonacossi, the Pope's physician in Ferrares, is said to have recommended that he be trained by Michelangelo . He worked under the master in Rome for seven years, then returned to Ferrara in 1553, where he enjoyed the general patronage of Duke Alfonso I d'Este and later his son Alfonso II .

He painted a Madonna with Peter and Paul for the church of Vigarano . In Castello Estense , he and his father and brother frescoed somewhat bizarre depictions of games in the Salone dei Giochi Saletta dei Giochi and in the Sala dell'Aurora . He is said to have worked with Leonardo Brescia on this assignment . He painted a circumcision and an Annunciation for the Church of Sant'Agostino in Ferrara.

His painting from 1565, Birth of the Virgin , is reminiscent of the pictures by Andrea del Sarto. In 1565 he painted large altarpieces for the Charterhouse of Ferrara , the vision of St. Paul for Massa Lombarda and the Madonna and Child, saints and patron saints in Rovigo . For both San Cristoforo alla Certosa (1578) and for the apse roof of the Cathedral of Ferrara (1577–1581) he painted a fresco of the Last Judgment , which Michelangelo strongly imitated.

They say he went blind late in life. He shared his local fame at the time with the painter Scarsellino . The painter Bartolomeo Faccini is said to have been his pupil in Ferrara, although others classify him as a pupil of Girolamo da Carpi .
