Brescianino Biography
(b Siena, c. 1487; d after 1525). Italian painter. He may have trained with Girolamo del Pacchia (1477–?1533), but is first documented at Siena working with Battista di Fruosino (fl 1457–?1507) in the Compagnia di San Gerolamo in 1507. Immediately after, in Florence, he came under the influence of Raphael, Fra Bartolommeo and Leonardo da Vinci. His Virgin and Child with Two Saints (c. 1510; Buonconvento, Mus. A. Sacra Val d’Arbia) shows this early influence from Florence both in colouring and close figure grouping. Apart from a short visit to Rome (c. 1516) to assist Baldassare Peruzzi with the decoration of the Villa Farnesina, most of his time was spent in Siena. Frequent contact with Florence is suggested by his style of painting after 1510 and he probably had a workshop there run by his brother Raffaello Piccinelli (fl 1506–45). Works of slightly later date, such as the Three Virtues (c. 1517–18; Siena, Pin. N.), demonstrate that Andrea del Sarto became a dominant influence. In the Coronation of the Virgin (c. 1520; Siena, SS Pietro e Paolo) colours and compositional ideas from Sarto are combined with the local styles of Domenico Beccafumi and Girolamo del Pacchia. This altarpiece, with five predella panels depicting scenes from the Life of Christ , is one of his most substantial surviving works. He is last documented in 1525, in the confraternity of Florentine painters.
