Francesco Francia
Francesco Francia, whose real name was Francesco Raibolini (1447 – 5 January 1517) was an Italian painter,
He may have trained with
Vasari
. Raphael's Santa Cecilia is supposed to have produced such a feeling of inferiority in Francia that it caused him to die of depression. However, as his friendship with Raphael is now well-known, this story has been discredited.
He died in Bologna. His sons
Giulio Francia
were also artists.
