ESTENSE, BALDASSARE, Lombard
school, last half of 15th century. Probably
of Reggio, as he is sometimes called Baldassare
da Reggio. Supposed illegitimate
scion of House of Este, as he received unusual
promotion from the Dukes of Ferrara.
Painted a likeness of Borso I. in 1469, and
was sent to Milan to present it in person to
the Duke. His frescos in the Rufini Chapel,
S. Domenico, Ferrara, have perished, but
his portrait of Tito Strozzi, a tempera on
canvas, of good outline and finish, dated
1483, is in the Costabili Collection, Ferrara.
He seems to have followed in the footsteps
of Tura and of
Cossa. Baldassare's
will was
made in 1500.—C.
& C., N. Italy, i. 525; Vasari, ed. Le
Mon., iv. 173.
