Benvenuto Tisi (1481 to September 6, 1559), also known as Il Garofalo, was a Late-Renaissance and Mannerist Italian painter of the School of Ferrara. His career began attached to the court of the Duke d'Este, and his early works have been described as idyllic while often conforming to the elaborate conceits favored by the refined Ferrarese court. His nickname, Garofalo, may come from his habit of signing some works with a picture of a carnation, garofano in Italian.
