Girolamo Mazzola Bedoli, ca. (1505 - ca. 1570)

• Was an Italian painter active in the Mannerist style.
• Bedoli was born in Parma in a family coming from Viadana in Lombardy.
• He was a near contemporary of Parmigianino, and after the early death of the master, he completed some frescoes initially commissioned from Parmigianino.
• He worked in the studio of the Parmigianino's uncles in the city of Parma.
• He married the daughter of Pier Ilaro Mazzola, a cousin of Parmigianino.
• He painted along with his father in law the Immaculate Conception for the Oratorio della Concezione (now in Parma Gallery).
• He produced murals, portraits, designed tombs, and altarpieces - the diverse uses probably trained him best as a decorative artist.
• His son, Alessandro Mazzola, was an undistinguished painter.
