According to Lauzi, lie was son of Michele Mazzola, but Zaui says his real name was Bedolo, and that he took the name of Mazzola on marry- ing the daughter of Pier Hilario Mazzola, brother of Michele. He was therefore cou- sin, or cousin by marriage, of Parmiyianinu, of whom he was the favourite pupil. He had a great reputation in Parma and paint- ed many pictures for its churches. Among his works are : Adoration of the Magi, Lou- vre, Paris ; Madonna and Kneeling St. George, an allegory, Dresden Gallery ; Mir- acle of the Loaves, fresco, Mantua. Lanzi, ii. 400 ; Ch.

See Morazzonc. MAZZUOLA, FILDPPO, called dell' Er- bette, of Parma, died in 1505. Lombard school ; father of Francesco Mazzola, called Parmi/jiatrina. His style may be seen in his Virgin and Child, dated 1491, in the Parma Gallery ; his Baptism of Christ, 1493, in the Episcopal Palace, Parma ; and his Dead , Christ, 1500, in the Naples Museum. His figures are ill-drawn and stiff, his tempera is raw and of a sad gray tone, and he shows no knowledge of perspective. His Madon- na, in the Berlin Museum, exhibits more study and better forms.
