Raffaello Botticini
Raffaello Botticini (1474–after 1520) was an Italian Renaissance painter active in Florence and its environs. Raffaello was trained by his father, the more famous Francesco Botticini, whose workshop he inherited. ''The Tabernacle of the Sacrament'' for the collegiate church of Sant'Andrea in Empoli, commissioned from Francesco in 1484 and delivered in 1491, was completed by Raffaello in 1504. This work is now in the church's adjoining museum. Raffaello painted other pictures for various churches in Empoli, including two panels of ''Saint Jerome'' and ''Saint Sebastian'' dated 1500 (now also at the collegiate museum) and an altarpiece of the ''Pietà'' (1508) for the chapel of the Compagnia della Veste Nera, destroyed in 1944. These panels show the strong influence of Raffaello's father as well as of Domenico Ghirlandaio and his pupils, Bastiano Mainardi and Francesco Granacci. Other works by Raffaello Botticini include about a dozen paintings of the Virgin and Child. So ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Francesco Granacci
Francesco Granacci (1469 – 30 November 1543) was an Italian Renaissance painter active primarily in his native Florence. Though little-known today, he was regarded in his time and is featured in Giorgio Vasari's ''Lives of the Artists''. Granacci was born in 1469 in Villamagna, and was trained in Florence in the workshop of Domenico Ghirlandaio, where he became lifelong friends with Michelangelo. The two frequented Lorenzo de' Medici's famous sculpture garden near the convent of San Marco. His earliest works, such as the ''Madonna and Child with Saints Michael and John the Baptist'' (Staatliche Museen, Berlin), ''Adoration of the Child'' (Honolulu Museum of Art) and his panel from the four histories of ''Saint John the Baptist'' (Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) show the strong influence of Ghirlandaio as well as Filippino Lippi, who might have been Granacci's first master. According to Vasari, when Granacci was still a youth he modeled for the nude figure in Filippin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Italian Renaissance
The Italian Renaissance ( it, Rinascimento ) was a period in Italian history covering the 15th and 16th centuries. The period is known for the initial development of the broader Renaissance culture that spread across Europe and marked the transition from the Middle Ages to modernity. Proponents of a "long Renaissance" argue that it started around the year 1300 and lasted until about 1600. In some fields, a Proto-Renaissance, beginning around 1250, is typically accepted. The French word ''renaissance'' (corresponding to ''rinascimento'' in Italian) means 'rebirth', and defines the period as one of cultural revival and renewed interest in classical antiquity after the centuries during what Renaissance humanists labelled as the "Dark Ages". The Renaissance author Giorgio Vasari used the term ''rinascita'' 'rebirth' in his '' Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects'' in 1550, but the concept became widespread only in the 19th century, after the work of schola ...

Bastiano Mainardi
Bastiano di Bartolo Mainardi (1466 – 1513) was an Italian painter of the Early Renaissance. He was born in San Gimignano and was active there and in Florence. According to Giorgio Vasari, Mainardi is portrayed in the frescoes in the Sassetti and Tornabuoni Chapels by Domenico Ghirlandaio, Mainardi's brother-in-law and master. Vasari also claimed that Mainardi took part in Ghirlandaio's frescoes (1476) in the Abbey of Passignano in Val di Pesa, near Florence, and in the chapel of Saint Fina in the Collegiata of San Gimginano (1485). The ''Annunciation'' fresco in the loggia of San Gimignano's Collegiata, dated 1482, is often also attributed to Mainardi. Mainardi's authorship of these works was, however, proven impossible when Italian art historian Lisa Venturini discovered Mainardi's birthdate as 1466 (it was previously placed around 1460 or earlier). Thus, Mainardi was too young to have assisted Ghirlandaio in these works or to have painted the ''Annunciation'' San Gimign ...
