Not content to establish his workshop in one location, manuscript illuminator Belbello da Pavia, also known as Luchino di Giovanni Belbello, traveled around northern Italy in the mid-fifteenth century working for many of the leading ruling families at the courts of Milan, Ferrara, and Mantua. He was expelled from Mantua in 1450 after having been convicted of a grave crime, and he eventually settled in Pavia sometime before 1461. His most famous work is the Visconti Hours, a book of hours commissioned by Filippo Maria Visconti, Duke of Milan, which Belbello completed after two other artists had left it unfinished. Especially toward the end of his career, he collaborated on manuscript projects with accomplished northern Italian painters and illuminators such as Andrea Mantegna and Girolamo da Cremona. Belbello painted strongly modeled, monumental figures with close-set facial features, and he was known for his distinctive use of bright colors such as blues, yellows, and pinks. He often filled the borders of the pages he illuminated with lush flowers and plants with heavy, fleshy leaves. His fanciful compositions and unusual treatment of familiar iconographic themes set him apart from other artists working at the time.
