Bernardo Parentino, also known as Bernardo Parenzano (c. 1450 – c. 1500) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance period, active mainly in Padua. To his detriment, he is still being been confused and superimposed by another person with the same name, an Augustine monk who took the name Fra Lorenzo (c. 1437–1531) and who died in the Monastery of St. Michael in Vicenza.
Born in Parenzo, then a Venetian town in Istria and died in Vicenza. He was influenced, if not a pupil, of the painter Andrea Mantegna. He painted Scenes of the life of San Benedetto for the cloister of Santa Giustina at Padua, and a Nativity once at the Accademia Gallery in Venice. An Adoration of the Magi, more indebted to Giovanni Bellini is found at the Louvre Museum[1] He painted a nightmarish Temptation of St Anthony Abbot found at the Doria Pamphilj Gallery. Also known as Bernardo da Parenzo or Parenzano.
