Bianchi, Francis Ferrari
, called IL Frari, a painter
and sculptor of Modena, has the reputation of having been
the master of Corregio, but never arrived at the fame of
his pupil. There is one of his pictures in the church of
St. Francis in Modena, by which it appears that he possessed a certain degree of mellowness, though his line is
too dry, and the eyes of his figures want the roundness of
nature, like those of Cimabue. He died in 1510, two years
before the merit of Corregio began to be acknowledged. 2
