Andrea di Aloigi (or Alovigi, Aloisi, Aloysii, and Di Luigi; 1480–1521), called L'Ingegno, was an Italian Renaissance painter.

Life

A native of

Moses Leaving to Egypt in the chapel have been attributed to him.[1]

Ingegno, Vasari adds, became blind, and received a pension from Pope Sixtus IV. This last statement, as Carl Friedrich von Rumohr pointed out, is an error, as the Pope died in 1484, and Raphael did not enter Perugino's studio until about 1496. Most of his works are in the manner of Fiorenzo di Lorenzo.[1] A Virgin and Child in the National Gallery in London is attributed to him; an inscription on the painting reading "A.A.P." has been taken to mean "Andrea di Aloigi (or possibly Andrea da Assisi) painted this".[2]
