Mariotto Albertinelli

Art Appreciation

Born on October 13, 1474, Mariotto di Bindo di Biagio Albertinelli was an Italian Renaissance painter known for his chiaroscuro, and intimate compositions. His work shows influence of Leonardo da Vinci.

Albertinelli was a pupil of Italian painter Cosimo Rosselli, who was known for painting large frescos. While learning under Rosselli, Albertinelli met and formed a partnership with Baccio della Porta (later known as Fra Bartolomeo). 

It is said Albertinelli lived as a libertine, in his younger years, and experienced financial problems.
