Bernardino Cervi was a native of Modena and a scholar of Guido. He possessed an extraordinary genius and in the judgment of his excellent instructor would have reached a high rank in art had he not been cut off in the prime of his life by the plague which visited Modena in 1630. His principal works are his frescoes in the cathedral at Modena in the churches of which city there are some altar-pieces by him and a ‘Deposition from the Cross’ in the Este Gallery.
