      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Portrait of Giovanni Bentovigolio 1480</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Ercole de’Roberti, also known as Ercole Ferrarese or Ercole da Ferrara, was an artist of the Italian Renaissance and the School of Ferrara. He was profiled in Vasari’s Le Vite delle più eccellenti pittori, scultori, ed architettori (or, in English, Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects).</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/ercole/Ercole_GinevraBentovigolio.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Ginevra Bentovigolio 1480</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">The son of the doorkeeper at the Este castle, Ercole later held the position of court artist for the Este family in Ferrara. According to Vasari Ercole had an extraordinary love of wine, and his frequent drunkenness did much to shorten his life, which he had enjoyed without any accident up to the age of forty, when he was smitten one day by apoplexy, which made an end of him in a short time.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/ercole/Ercole_MadonnaAndChildEnthronedwithSaints.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Madonna and Child Enthroned with Saints 1480</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Paintings by Ercole are rare. His life was short and many of his works have been destroyed. The discovery of a painting by Ercole would be an incredible find.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/ercole/Ercole_WifeOfHasdrubalAndHerChildren.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Wife of Hasdrubal and Her Children 1480-1490</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">By 1473, when he was 17, Ercole had left Ferrara and was working in Bologna in the studio of Francesco del Cossa. (According to Vasari, Ercole also apprenticed under Lorenzo Costa in Bologna, but this seems unlikely as he was Lorenzo’s senior by seveal years). Ercole’s first mature works are his contributions to the Griffoni Chapel for the San Petronio Basilica in Bologna: a predella depicting the Miracles of St Vincent Ferrer (c.1473) (now in the Pinacoteca of the Vatican), and lateral pilasters for the altarpiece commissioned from del Cossa.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/ercole/Ercole_PredellaForGrifoniChapel.jpg" alt="art" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Predella for Griffoni Chapel</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 1480, Ercole created a large altarpiece with a Madonna and Child Enthroned with Saints for Santa Maria in Porto in Ravenna, which is now in the Brera, Milan. Portraits of Giovanni II Bentivoglio and Ginevra Bentivoglio attributed to Ercole de’Robeti (c. 1480) are in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/ercole/Ercole_Lucretia.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Lucretia</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Ercole succeeded Cosmè Tura as court painter to the Este family in Ferrara around 1486. His role apparently went far beyond making art: he accompanied Alfonso d’Este on a papal visit to Rome, served as wardrobe manager for Isabella d’Este’s wedding in Mantua, and may even have made salamis.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/ercole/Ercole_Pieta.jpg" alt="art" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Pieta 1482</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">A painting of Portia and Brutus (c. 1486-90), believed to be painted for Eleonora of Aragon, duchess of Ferrara, is in the Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth, Texas. Ercole’s painting of Saint Jerome in the Wilderness from this period is in the collection of The Getty Center Los Angeles.</p>
