Saint Ugo di Lincoln and the blessed Guglielmo da Fenoglio

Bernardino Campi1576

Sforzesco Castle

Sforzesco Castle
Milan, Italy

In this
  panel Bernardino Campi adopted a sober, spare figurative language, far from
  the refinements of form and colour that had marked his work of the previous
  decade.
  The saint is depicted with the white tunic of the Carthusians, while Guglielmo da Fenoglio, with a long beard and shaved hair, wears the habit of the laybrothers
  The
  panel was probably intended as Bernardino Campi’s contribution to the
  polyptych with the "Assumption of the Virgin" painted by Andrea
  Solario
for the high altar of the Charterhouse of Pavia, which was never
  finished.
