"In Carlo Bonone Ferrara possessed an early Seicento painter who in his best period after 1610 shows a close affinity to [Bartolomeo] Schedoni.  Though not discarding the local tradition stemming from [Dosso] Dossi, nor neglecting what he had learned from Veronese, he fully absorbed the new tendencies coming from Lodovico Carracci."
