'''Dosso Dossi''' (u [[1490]]–[[1542]]),<!--<ref>The 2003 Columbia Encyclopedia cites birthdate as c.1479. The Getty Museum (which owns some of Dossi's works), Britannica, Encarta, and the monograph below cite birthdate as c.1490. His place of birth is unknown.</ref>--> tegeliku nimega '''Giovanni di Niccolò de Luteri''', oli [[Itaalia]] [[Renessanss|renessansi]] maalikunstnik Ferrara koolkonnast.
<!-- ==Biograafia== -->
Dossi sündis [[San Giovanni del Dosso]] külas [[Mantova]] provintsis. Tema noorusaastatest on meie päevini säilinud vähe andmeid. <!--His early training and life is not well documented; his father, originally of [[Trento]], was a bursar (''spenditore'' or ''fattore'') for the Dukes of [[Ferrara]]. He may have had training locally with [[Lorenzo Costa]] or in [[Mantua]], where he is known to have been in 1512.--> [[1514]] aastal asus ta kolmeks aastakümneks hertsogite [[Alfonso I d'Este|Alfonso I]] ja [[Ercole II d'Este]] teenistusse, kus temast sai õukonna peamine kunstnik. Dosso tegi sageli koostööd oma noorema venna [[Battista Dossi]]ga, kes oli saanud koolitust [[Raffael]]i Rooma töökojas. <!--The works he produced for the dukes included the ephemeral decorations of furniture and theater sets. He is known to have worked alongside [[il Garofalo]] in the Costabili [[polyptych]]. One of his pupils was [[Giovanni Francesco Surchi]] (''il Dielai'').
Dosso Dossi is known less for his naturalism or attention to design, and more for cryptic allegorical conceits in paintings around mythological themes, a favored subject for the humanist Ferrarese court (see also [[Cosimo Tura]] and the decoration of the [[Palazzo Schifanoia]]). Freedburg uses the term ''[[sprezzatura]]'' to refer to Dossi's caricature-like, primitivist, and eccentric distortions of proportion. Dossi is also known for the atypical choices of bright pigment for his cabinet pieces. Some of his works, such as the ''Deposition'' have lambent qualities that suggest some of [[Antonio da Correggio|Correggio]]'s works. Most of his works feature Christian and Ancient Greek themes and use oil painting as a medium.
The painting ''Aeneas in the Elysian Fields'' was part of the ''Camerino d'Alabstro'' of [[Alfonso I d'Este|Alfonso I]] in the Este Castle, decorated with canvases depicting [[bacchanalia]] and erotic subjects including ''Feast of the Gods'' by [[Giovanni Bellini]] and ''Venus Worship'' by [[Titian]]. The frieze paintings were based on the [[Aeneid]]; this scene by Dossi is book 6, lines 635-709, wherein [[Aeneas]] is guided over the bridge into the [[Elysian Fields]] by the [[Cumaean Sibyl]]. [[Orpheus]] with the lyre flits in the forest; in the background are the ghostly horses of dead warriors.
In ''Hercules and the Pygmies'', [[Hercules]] has fallen asleep after defeating [[Antaeus]], and is set upon by an army of thumb-size pygmies, whom he defeats. He gathers them in his lion skin. Paintings depicting a powerful Hercules were commonly made for the then-ruler Duke [[Ercole II d'Este]]. The subjects of the ''Mythological Scene'' and ''Tubalcain'' are unknown.

Recently, "Portrait of a Youth" at the National Gallery of Victoria, the mysterious portrait of an unknown subject by an unknown painter, has been identified as a portrait of the infamous [[Lucrezia Borgia]] by Dosso Dossi.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/news/national/ngvs-renaissance-mystery-woman-revealed/2008/11/25/1227491534785.html|title=NGV's Renaissance mystery woman revealed|publisher=Brisbane Times}}</ref>
In Ferrara, among his pupils were [[Gabriele Capellini]], [[Jacopo Panicciati]], and [[Giovanni Francesco Surchi]].<ref>*{{cite book | first= James R.|last= Hobbes| year=1849| title= Picture collector's manual adapted to the professional man, and the amateur| editor = | pages= 77 | publisher= T&W Boone, 29 Bond Street; Digitized by Googlebooks | id= | url= http://books.google.com/books?q=intitle:picture+intitle:collector's | authorlink= }}</ref>
