Macrino d'Alba (c. 1460–1465 – c. 1510–1520) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance period, active mainly in Piedmont. Also called Giovanni Giacomo Fava. Born in Alba, he painted the Resurrection for the chapel of Sant’Ugone at the Certosa di Pavia. He also painted in the church of San Francesco at Alba and works in the Vigevano Cathedral. A Madonna and Child With Joseph attributed to Macrino is displayed in the Städel Gallery in Frankfurt.
