He belongs to the early Renaissance and was mainly active in Ferrara, his hometown. Although he was a pupil of Pisanello , he carried out his works in the Renaissance style and was mainly inspired by Andrea Mantegna .
His first works date from the mid-15th century and his most important work was the Bible des Borso d'Este , two miniature volumes on parchment that were written over a period of six years (1455-1461) by a team of artists he led together with one other miniaturists, Franco dei Russi . The Bible is kept in the Biblioteca Estense in Modena .
He was assisted by Girolamo da Cremona , who in 1465 completed the missal for the Cathedral of San Pietro in Mantua , known as Messale di Barbara di Brandeburgo , which is kept in the Museo Diocesano Francesco Gonzaga in Mantua.
In 1471, after the death of Borso d'Este, he left Ferrara and moved to Bologna , where he continued his activity as a miniaturist until his death.
He also produced the first printed map of Italy, published in 1477.
