Bernardino Zaganelli (also known as Bernardino da Cotignola) was an Italian painter, born in Cotignola around 1460/1470 and died around 1510. In collaboration with his brother Francesco, he played an important role in Emilian painting in the transition phase from traditional fifteenth-century models to the gradual renewal of the first decades of the sixteenth century.
Bernardino was most likely a pupil of Marco Palmezzano and Nicolò Rondinelli. After a first phase of work in collaboration with his brother, as demonstrated in the Madonna with Saints Floriano and John the Baptist of the Pinacoteca di Brera, signed by both in 1499, where the imprint of the Ferrara school can be seen enriched by other Emilian contributions, such as Melozzo da Forlì and Francesco Francia, Bernardino undertook a more complex stylistic path than his brother.
Since 1513, in fact, Bernardino has been the sole owner of a shop in Ravenna. The "Immaculate Conception" of the Forlì Art Gallery and the "San Sebastiano" of the National Art Gallery of Ferrara date back to that year. This is followed by the "Baptism of Christ" from the National Gallery in London and the whole group of works characterized by a strong graphic insistence and contacts with Venetian painting. In particular, Bernardino approaches Bartolomeo Montagna: in the Pinacoteca of Vicenza there is the " Madonna of the roses", perhaps evidence of Bernardino's stay in Veneto.
