Marco Zoppo was an Italian Renaissance painter from Bologna, known for his delicate Madonnas and expressive religious scenes. A pupil of Lippo Dalmasio and influenced by Squarcione’s workshop in Padua, Zoppo’s early works show a blend of Gothic elegance and emerging Florentine naturalism.

His dynamic drapery, refined figures, and attention to emotion foreshadow the High Renaissance masters. Though fewer works survive, Marco Zoppo played a role in transmitting Paduan innovations to Bologna, contributing to the spread of Renaissance ideals in Northern Italy.
