family portrait to be placed in the choir of San Celso of Milan. This portrait consisted of Duke Galeazzo, Duchess Bona of Savoy, and one of their children. In 1474 Bugatto competed with Bembo and Vincenzo Foppa for a contract to paint the frescoes and the altarpiece at the chapel in the Castello Sforza in Pavia. Records remain of the three artists suggestions for the altarpiece frame though they did not have plans drawn up for the altarpiece itself as Galeazzo had not yet decided which saints he wanted painted on the altarpiece. Shortly before he died, Bugatto collaborated with these same two artists at Santa Giacomo fuori Pavia to work on a fresco cycle of the Life of Christ. This work was full of conflicts as Duke Galeazzo was under considerable financial strain at this time and sought ways to cut costs. Works Influenced by and Associated with Bugatto Some works survive which, though not made by Bugatto himself, are theorized by historians to be either heavily influenced by his work or be direct copies of his portraits. The Uffizi Portrait of Galeazzo Maria Sforza by Piero Pollaiuolo is one such piece. When Galeazzo visited Lorenzo Medici in Florence from 15 to 18 March 1471, it was a very important and celebrated event. Though Lorenzo Medici would have wanted a portrait of the Duke to commemorate the visit, there likely would have not been time for him to sit for one. Because of this, some historians suggest that Pollaiuolo's portrait was made based on Bugatto's work which may have either been loaned to the Medici's or shown to Pollaiuolo on a visit to Milan. These historians point to the Rogierian influence of this portrait as evidence that it may be based on Bugatto's work. Several historians have associated other works with Bugatto and his travels due to the characteristics of Rogier-like Flemish portraits mixed with the northern Italian influences of Bugatto. However, none of the following works have been definitively attributed to Bugatto and all are strongly contested among art historians. Some of these arguably associated works include Portrait of a Young Man (Châteauroux, Mus. B.-A.), Virgin with Symbols of the Passion (Paris, priv. col), a panel of St Jerome (Bergamo, Gal. Accad. Carrara). Some scholars have also attributed two works, Virgin and Child and Galeazzo Maria Sforza (Gazzada, Mus. Villa Cagnola). References 1440s births Year of death missing
