Benedetto Da Maiano Biography
[Benedetto di Leonardo] (b Maiano, nr Florence, 1442; d Florence, 24 May 1497). Sculptor and wood-carver, brother of (1) Giuliano da Maiano. He was technically one of the most accomplished marble-carvers of the 15th century and the foremost sculptor in Florence of the generation following Bernardo Rossellino. Technical difficulties had been largely overcome by his predecessors, however, and he lacked the innovative qualities of Rossellinos generation. There are close parallels between Benedetto and his contemporary and sometime collaborator Domenico Ghirlandaio in their technical proficiency, powers of narrative expression, excellent portraiture and adherence to traditional techniques.
