The Head of Saint John the Baptist

Bramantino was an Italian Renaissance painter active in Milan and Rome during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Working primarily in tempera and oil on panel, he developed a distinctive style marked by architectural precision, bold geometric forms, and a restrained palette. His compositions often feature monumental figures arranged in austere, carefully constructed spaces that reflect the influence of both Florentine perspective and Northern European painting. He received commissions from major patrons including the Sforza court in Milan. This profile will be expanded as more verified source material becomes available.
