Bartolomeo Schedoni (sometimes Schedone)[1] (1578 – 23 December 1615) was an Italian early Baroque painter from Reggio Emilia.

Biography

He was born in Modena, and moved to Parma with his father, a mask-maker who served the Farnese court.[2] In 1595 Schedoni traveled to Rome, where he apprenticed briefly under Federico Zuccari with the sponsorship of Ranuccio I Farnese, Duke of Parma.[2] After falling ill, he returned to Parma.

The baroque art historian Count Carlo Cesare Malvasia (1616–1693) claims that Schedoni trained under Annibale Carracci in Bologna, although this is questionable; his early work reveals instead his study of Correggio's works in Parma.[2]
