LUDOVICO BREA

'Ludovico' (or 'Louis') 'Brea' (c. 1450 - c. 1523) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance, active mainly in and near Genoa.
Brea was born into a family of coopers in Nice, and later moving to Liguria, he painted numerous altarpieces that displayed both Lombardy and Flemish influences. One of his pupils was Teramo Piaggio.
