Antonio Leonelli or Antonio da Crevalcore[1] (c. 1438–1441, in Crevalcore – after 1515 or 1525, in Bologna) was an Italian painter, mainly of still-life painting and some sacred subjects. Leonalli is considered by many to have trained in Ferrara, based on the similarities between his painting style, and works by other known Ferrarese painters working in Bologna at the time.[2]
