400 Painting We must also name, as followers of Raphael, Gianfrancesco Penni (1448-1528), called II Fattore, in whose works we recognise excellences similar to those of Romano ; Timoteo Viti (or della Vite), (1467-1523), who shared Raphael's power of expressing religious fervour ; Pierino Buonaccorsi, called del Vaga (1500-1547), who painted much at Genoa; Giovanni Nanni, da Udine (1487-1564), who carried out his decorative designs and caught much of his spirit ; Innocenzio Francucci da Imola (1494-1549), and Barto- lommeo Ramenghi, called da Bagnacavallo (1484-1542), who adopted his soft and beautiful style of modelling.

The National Gallery contains four of his pictures : the principal is a Madonna and Child enthroned, originally an altar-piece in S. Guglielmo at Ferrara.

Returning to Ferrara, they executed, amongst other works, frescoes in the Ducal Palace — Dosso doing the figures and Battista the backgrounds. An Adoration of the Magi, by Dosso, is in the National Gallery, where
