Gasparo Sacchi

Gasparo Sacchi, also known as Gaspare da Imola, ( active c. 1517–1536) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance period.

Biography

Born in Imola, he painted in Ravenna and other towns of the Romagna. He painted in a San Pietro de Imola altarpiece in 1517 and a Virgin with Saints Rocco, Francis, and Sebastian (1521) for the church of San Francesco in Ravenna.[1]

He was noted to have been influenced by Melozzo da Forli, although the latter had died in 1494.[2] He painted altarpieces (dated 1521) for the sacristy of the Castel San Pietro in Imola.
