Biographie

Ercole Grandi est un architecte et peintre italien qui fut l'élève du peintre Lorenzo Costa.

À la suite d'une erreur de Giorgio Vasari il est souvent confondu avec Ercole de' Roberti[1] surnommé Ercole Ferrarese.

Grandi est enregistré comme « maître » en 1489 à la Cour d'Este à Ferrare. En 1495, il réalise les dessins préparatoires de la façade, intérieur et la décoration en marbre de l'église Santa Maria in Vado à Ferrare, exécutée par Biagio Rossetti, Bartolomeo Tristano et Antonio di Gregorio. Par la suite, l'église a été profondément modifiée En 1495 Grandi a réalisé un projet pour une statue équestre en bronze d'Ercole I^er d'Este, dont seul le socle a été finalement réalisé. Il a également été crédité de la conception de la « Porta dei Leoni » au Palazzo Castelli et de la décoration du pilastre du Palazzo dei Diamanti, à Ferrare[2].

[en] Ercole Grandi

Ercole Grandi (ca.1463–before 1 November 1525) was an Italian painter of the early-Renaissance period, active mainly in Ferrara. Also known as Ercole da Ferrara and Ercole di Giulio Cesare Grandi, he has been claimed to be a favourite pupil of the painter Lorenzo Costa. Ercole Grandi first appeared in the historical record as being in the service of the house of Este in 1489. Between 1489 and 1495, Ercole Grandi seems to have been working in Bologna, both in San Petronio and in the Cappella Bentivoglio of San Giacomo Maggiore, as an assistant to Lorenzo Costa. In 1495, he was in Ferrara as the chief architect for realising Duke Ercole's plans to embellish the city and renovate the churches; the facade and interior of Santa Maria in Vado were executed from his design. He worked with Ludovico Mazzolino and others on the decoration of the Castello, and painted in the apartments of Lucretia Borgia. Also in Ferrara, he painted the frescoes for the church of San Pietro Martire (now demolished), although some frescoes are preserved. One problem in assigning attribution to the hand of Ercole Grandi is that none of his works is signed or dated, or accompanied by supporting documents, but he is thought by some scholars to have painted—in the manner of Mantegna—or had a hand in, the decorative frescoed ceiling in the Sala del Tesoro of the Palazzo Costabili (Palazzo di Ludovico il Moro) in Ferrara between 1503 and 1506. Other scholars attribute the work to Benvenuto Tisi da Garofalo. Confusingly, the identity of Ercole Grandi is sometimes conflated with Garofalo, and an Ercole da Bologna, and (most famously by the Renaissance historian, Giorgio Vasari) with that of Ercole di Antonio Roberti or Ercole de' Roberti (and see Filippini), who was first documented as being in Ferrara in 1479, and was author of the great frescoes of the Garganelli chapel in Bologna. Most of Ercole Grandi's works have been reattributed to other Ferrarese painters, such as Giovan Francesco Maineri and Lorenzo Costa, while other scholars insist that Ercole Grandi is a mythical character.
