During the Renaissance the Este family, well known for its patronage of the arts, welcomed a great number of artists, especially painters, that formed the so-called [[School of Ferrara (painting)|School of Ferrara]]. The astounding list of painters and artists includes the names of [[Andrea Mantegna]], [[Vicino da Ferrara]], [[Giovanni Bellini]], [[Leon Battista Alberti]], [[Pisanello]], [[Piero della Francesca]], [[Battista Dossi]], [[Dosso Dossi]], [[Cosmé Tura]], [[Francesco del Cossa]] and [[Titian]]. In the 19th and 20th centuries, Ferrara again hosted and inspired numerous painters who grew fond of its eerie atmosphere. Among them [[Giovanni Boldini]], [[Filippo de Pisis]] and [[Giorgio de Chirico]]. A large collection of paintings is displayed in the National Gallery of [[Palazzo dei Diamanti]].
