American artist Deborah Lanino has a unique connection to the art world. As a direct descendant of Bernardino Lanino, a successful Renaissance painter from Vercelli, Italy over 400 years ago, she finds this connection imbues her fusion of impressionism and expressionism with a unique insight.

Bernardino Lanini or Lanino (c. 1512 – c. 1582) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance period, active mainly in Milan.
He was born in Mortara near Pavia. He trained as a pupil of the painter Gaudenzio Ferrari. In Milan, he painted a Last Supper for the church San Nazaro Grande. He painted a Holy family for the church of Sant'Ambrogio, now on display in the Brera Gallery. He painted frescoes on the Life of the Magdalen for the church of San Cristoforo in Vercelli. Three of his works are on display at the Museo Borgogna in Vercelli, including: an Annunciation; a Madonna and Child with Saints Bernardino of Siena and St Francis of Assisi (also labeled Madonna del cane due to dog asleep below Virgin); and a painted standard of Madonna and Child with St Anne and hooded confraternity brothers, painted for the Confraternita di Sant’Anna. Lanini painted a St Catherine for the church San Celso. He frescoed sibyls for the Novara Cathedral. He also painted for a chapel in the Basilica of San Magno, Legnano. Other paintings are in Saronno. More on Bernardino Lanino

This drawing was recognized as a work by Lanino by R.R. Coleman. He identified it as a preparatory study for Lanino's Madonna delle Grazie in the church of San Paolo in the artist's native Vercelli. Lanino received the commission around 1554, though the painting is signed and dated 1568. Another version of the head by Lanino remains in the collection of the Biblioteca Reale. More on this work
Although this drawing was executed late in Lanino's career, it is still strongly influenced by the art of his master, Gaudenzio Ferrari, whose style remained the preferred taste of patrons in Vercelli. Indeed, the contract for Lanino's Madonna delle Grazie, drawn up on 8 May 1554, specified that the artist should base his altarpiece on Gaudenzio's Madonna degli Aranci in the church of San Cristoforo, also in Vercelli.
Today, Deborah can often be found in her art studio in Los Angeles. Deborah makes original art that invites you to find beauty, hope and positivity in everyday moments. Her fine art work appears in various collections throughout the world. More on Deborah Lanino
