Bolognese School

There were three periods to the Bolognese School in painting—the Early, the Roman, and the Eclectic. The first was founded by Marco Zoppo, in the fifteenth century, and its best exponent was Francia. The second was founded in the sixteenth century by Bagnacavallo, and its chief exponents were Primaticʹio, Tibaldi, and Nicolo dellʹ Abaʹte. The third was founded by the Carracci, at the close of the sixteenth century, and its best masters have been Domenichiʹno, Lanfranco, Guido, Schidoʹne, Guerciʹno, and Albaʹni.
