giulio raibolini (1487 - 1545)
Giulio di Francesco Raibolini, known as Giulio Francia, was an Italian Renaissance painter and the son of the renowned Francesco Francia. He received his training in his father's workshop.
After Francesco's death in 1517, Giulio and his brother Giacomo took over the family business. Together, they created numerous altarpieces for churches in Bologna and the surrounding area. The artistic skills of both brothers were inferior to their father's, as they merely replicated his models with less proficiency. Over time, they were influenced by the art of Raphael and later by the prevailing Mannerist style, while still maintaining the foundation learned in their father's workshop, which eventually became outdated within the mid-16th-century Bolognese painting scene.
