Girolamo Del Pacchia
Girolamo del Pacchia (c. 1477 – after 1533), was an Italian painter. Life He was born, probably in Siena, likely into a family of modest means, probably son of a Hungarian cannon-founder. It is believed that he began his artistic training early, possibly studying with Domenico Beccafumi, a master painter and one of the most important figures of Sienese art during the early 16th century. Through this connection, del Pacchia absorbed much of Beccafumi's style, marked by graceful figures and a use of color and light that conveyed a sense of harmony and elegance. Del Pacchia’s work is rooted in the tradition of Sienese painting but was also shaped by broader Renaissance developments, especially the influence of artists such as Raphael and Leonardo da Vinci. His art was characterized by its balanced compositions, clear narrative elements, and the integration of figural and architectural space, which reflects the increasing sophistication of perspective and anatomy during the Renai ...

Sodoma
Il Sodoma (1477 – 14 February 1549) was the name given to the Italian Renaissance painter Giovanni Antonio Bazzi. Il Sodoma painted in a manner that superimposed the High Renaissance style of early 16th-century Rome onto the traditions of the provincial Sienese school; he spent the bulk of his professional life in Siena, with two periods in Rome. Biography Giovanni Bazzi was born in Vercelli, Piedmont, in 1477. His first master was the "archaic" Martino Spanzotti; he also appears to have been a student of the painter Giovenone. After acquiring the strong colouring and other distinctive stylistic features of the Lombard school and – though he is not known to have travelled to Milan – somehow absorbing the superficial mannerisms of Leonardo, he travelled to Siena before 1503, perhaps at the behest of agents of the Spannocchi family, and began with fresco cycles for Olivetan monks and a series of small Ovidian ceiling panels and a frieze depicting the career of Julius Cae ...

Domenico Beccafumi
Domenico di Pace Beccafumi (1486May 18, 1551) was an Italian Renaissance-Mannerist painter active predominantly in Siena. He is considered one of the last undiluted representatives of the Sienese school of painting. Biography Domenico was born in Montaperti, near Siena, the son of Giacomo di Pace, a peasant who worked on the estate of Lorenzo Beccafumi. Seeing his talent for drawing, Lorenzo adopted him, and commended him to learn painting from Mechero, a lesser Sienese artist. In 1509 he travelled to Rome, where he learned from the artists who had just done their first work in the Vatican, but soon returned to Siena. However, while the Roman forays of two Sienese artists of roughly his generation (Il Sodoma and Peruzzi) had imbued them with elements of the Umbrian-Florentine Classical style, Beccafumi's style remains, in striking ways, provincial. In Siena, he painted religious pieces for churches and mythological decorations for private patrons, only mildly influenced by the g ...
