The Franciscan monk San Bernardino of Siena had travelled to Bergamo in 1411 and founded the monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie, Bergamo. On occasion of his canonization in 1450, this church was commissioned, and it is documented since the 1460s, affiliated with a confraternity of Flagellants, but the structure was not completed till 1561. It was assigned to the order of Dominicans but only till 1571. The church underwent extensive restorations in 1876. It has a posterior bell-tower. The facade has the IHS within sun monogram of San Bernardino.

BartolomeoMontagna was an Italian Renaissance painter who mainly worked in Vicenza. He also produced works in Venice, Verona, and Padua. He is most famous for his many Madonnas and his works are known for their soft figures and depiction of eccentric marble architecture. He is considered to be heavily influenced by Giovanni Bellini, in whose workshop he might have worked around 1470. Benedetto Montagna, a productive engraver, was his son and pupil and active until about 1540. He was mentioned in Vasari's Lives as a student of Andrea Mantegna but this is widely contested by art historians.
Alessandro Bonvicino, more commonly known as Moretto, or in Italian Il Moretto da Brescia, was an Italian Renaissance painter from Brescia, where he also mostly worked. His dated works span the period from 1524 to 1554, but he was already described as a master in 1516. He was mainly a painter of altarpieces that tend towards sedateness, mostly for churches in and around Brescia, but also in Bergamo, Milan, Verona, and Asola; many remain in the churches they were painted for. Most are on canvas, but a number even of large ones are on wood panel. Only a handful of drawings survive.
