Collection: Ercole de' Roberti

Ercole de' Roberti (c. 1451–1496), also known as Ercole Ferrarese, was an Italian artist of the Early Renaissance and the School of Ferrara. Born the son of the doorkeeper at the Este castle, he later served as court artist for the Este family in Ferrara.

Paintings by Ercole are rare, a consequence of his short life and the destruction of many works. His biography was included in Giorgio Vasari's Le Vite delle più eccellenti pittori, scultori, ed architettori.
