Life

Foppa was born near Brescia, learned in Padua and worked from 1456 to 1490 mainly in Pavia with occasional stays in Milan , Genoa and Savona . Foppa's early work reveals the influence of Jacopo Bellini , but he then approached the style of his contemporary Andrea Mantegna , who represented the main direction of Italian painting of the time. Foppa worked a lot for the dukes of Milan. He was considered the founder of the Milan School , which determined northern Italian art with its sense of color and its restraint until it was changed by Leonardo da Vinci .
