ALUNNO, NICCOLO, born at Foligno in 1430 ? died Aug. 1502 ; Umbriau school ; son of a painter at Foligno, and pupil of Bartolommeo di Tommaso, through whose assistant, Benozzo Gozzoli, the scholar of Fra Angelico, his early style was affected by that Florentine influence which they brought to bear upon Umbria. Later his pictures give evidence of a North Italian influence, shown in the increased action of his figures, and their somewhat exaggerated facial expres- sion. In the Madonna de' Consoli (1458), S. Francesco, Deruta, his drawing is stiff and defective, the colour si prevailing reddish brown ; but the sentiment is deep, and the naive Umbriau feeling marked. Other works in Alunno's first manner arc : Banner in S. Antonio Abate, Deruta, in which the St. An- thony on one side recalls Gozzoli, and the crucifixion on the other Bai-tolornmeo di Tommaso ; Madonna and Angels, Duomo, Assisi, painted before 14G5, to which year belong parts of an altarpiece, Brera, Milan ; Annunciation (140(i), Perugia Gallery, show- ing traces of Gozzoli's influence which con- tinued up to about 14G8. After 1471 that of Crivelli predominates, as in the altarpiece, Duomo, Gualdo ; Annunciation, Bologna Gallery ; Birth and Coronation of the Vir- gin (1483), Duomo, Nocera. The altarpiece in S. Niccolo, Foligno (1492), of which the Predella is in the Louvre, Paris, may be con- sidered as Alunno's masterpiece in his sec- ond, eclectic style. unplN NICfH Al One of his latest gfjf jSJ^K L works is the Ma- FULG1NATJS 1499. donna with Angels and Saints (1499) in a Church at La Bastia, between Assisi and Perugia.
