"Overshadowed by its Venetian and Tuscan neighbours, the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy nevertheless produced some wonderful artists such as Palmezzano who, arguably, have not received enough attention. Marco was one of the most successful painters of his time in his native Forlì, focusing on large altarpieces, as well as smaller images for more personal devotion. He did not fall under the spell of Raphael and his followers but instead, after training with Melozzo da Forlì, continued to adhere to the idiom of late-quattrocento Venice and in particular the work of Cima da Conegliano and Giovanni Bellini."
