 sagramoro
As painter Sagramoro is recorded to have painted hundreds of heraldic banners (penone) in the accounts of Ferrara, it was his main occupation over the course of his carreer.
In Ferrara he was active for more than 30 years mostly in a role as minor artist at the court of the Este until he found some greater acceptance as specialised painter of "Trionfi" card decks since 1450 (or perhaps already since 1442) till 1456.
Ortalli mentions, that he was very often employed by the d'Este court, working "on friezes, the decorations of ceilings, walls, tracery as well as court carriages, pennons, crests, flags, nuptial trunks, harnesses, pattern for fabrics and embroidery".

 Antonio da Correggio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antonio Allegri da Correggio (Correggio, Italy August 1489 – March 5, 1534) was the foremost painter of the Parma school of the Italian Renaissance, who was responsible for some of the most dynamic and sensuous works of the 16th century.
In his unmatched use of dynamic composition, illusionistic perspective and dramatic foreshortening, Correggio prefigured the Rococo art of the 18th century.
There are echoes of Mantegna's style in his work, and he was influenced also by Lorenzo Costa and Leonardo da Vinci.

In 1441, Jacopo went to Ferrara, where he was victorious in a painting competition with Pisanello.
Some historians think him to be the son of Jacopo's mistress and not his wife, though there is no direct evidence, and the guess is based only in the fact that Jacopo’s widow, Anna Rinversi, in her last will, dated November 1471, did not mention Giovanni as one of her heirs.
In 1453, Jacopo married off his daughter, Nicolosia, to the painter Andrea Mantegna, who was at that time working in Padua.

He conceived of the human figure as a volume in space, and the outlines of his subjects have the grace, abstraction, and precision of geometric drawings.
Almost all of Piero's works are religious in nature—primarily altarpieces and church frescoes—although his serene and noble double portrait Federigo da Montefeltro and Battista Sforza (1465, Uffizi, Florence) is one of his most famous works.
Certain aspects of Piero's work were significant for the northern Italian painters Andrea Mantegna and Giovanni Bellini, as well as for the later Raphael, but his art was in general too individual and self-contained to influence strongly the mainstream of Florentine art.
