The article profiles Dosso Dossi who was acclaimed as Ariosto, one of the poets in Duke Alfonso's circle in Northern Italy. He was one of jobbing courtiers who turned his hand to parade banners, festival scene-painting, and all the rest of the necessary machinery that displayed his lord's prestige. Furthermore, his studies are torn by disputes about dating, attribution and interpretation which made him more elusive as an artist than his celebrated colleagues.
