Biography

Bernardino (or Belardino) Mezzastris (or Mezastris) (fl. 1st half of the 16th century), Italian painter of the Umbrian school, probably from Foligno in Umbria. He was a minor artist: some of his frescoes on religious subjects survive, but garner little critical acclaim. He should not be confused with the much more important Pier Antonio Mezzastris, who was likely a relative, possibly his father.
Works by Bernardino Mezzastris include:
Madonna and Child with angels in a rose garden, in the church of S. Illuminata of Montefalco, signed and dated 1507
Fresco in the Chiesa Tonda of Spello, signed and dated 1533
detached frescoes now in the Pinacoteca Civica of Foligno.
