Prospero Fontana (1512–1597) was a Bolognese painter of late Renaissance and Mannerist art. He is perhaps best known for his frescoes and architectural detailing. The speed in which he completed paintings earned him commissions where he worked with other prominent artists of the period.[1] He was a prominent figure in the city of Bologna, serving as official arbitrator in the business disputes of local artists.[2] In his later career Fontana trained younger painters,[3] including his own daughter Lavinia.
