La France Renaissance artist-geniuses realized their potential through the commissions of rich and powerful patrons - or at least that is the concept of sixteenth-century Italian art repeated in many surveys. This notion comes down to us through Giorgio Vasari's Lives of the Artists and fosters the assumption that the greatest patrons of that time purchased what we consider great art today. Francesco d'Ubertino Verdi, i1 Bachiacca ( 1494-1557), simply doesn't fit into this old-fashioned model.

    Francesco Bacchiacca

    Italian painter

    Francesco d'Ubertino Verdi, called Bachiacca (say "bah ki ah cka").[1] He is also known as Francesco Ubertini, il Bacchiacca (1494–1557). He was an Italian painter of the Renaissance whose work is characteristic of the Florentine Mannerist style.

    Life

    [edit]

    Bachiacca was born and baptized in Florence on 1 March 1494 and died there on 5 October 1557.[2]

    Bachiacca belonged to a family of at least five, and possibly as many as eight artists. His father Ubertino di Bartolomeo (c. 1446/7-1505) was a goldsmith, his older brother Bartolomeo d'Ubertino Verdi (aka Baccio 1484-c. 1526/9) was a painter, and his younger brother Antonio d'Ubertino Verdi (1499–1572)—who also called himself Bachiacca—was both an embroiderer and painter. Francesco's son Carlo di Francesco Verdi (-1569) painted and Antonio's son Bartolomeo d'Antonio Verdi (aka Baccino -1600) worked as an embroiderer. This latter generation proba

    Francesco Granacci

    Born in Volterra, Italy, Granacci was a Renaissance painter who studied alongside Michelangelo (1475 – 1564) under Florentine artist, Domenico Ghirlandaio (1449 – 1494). During this time the young Granacci and Michelangelo also studied with the sculptor Bertoldo di Giovanni (1425 – 1491) in the Medici’s garden in San Marco.

    Granacci’s earlier works were well executed, but lacked a personal expression, mostly imitative of Ghirlandaio and his contemporary, sometimes collaborator, Filippino Lippi (1457 – 1504). This included his pieces, Enthroned Madonna between Saint Michael and John the Baptist, Adoration of the Child, and a series of Saint John the Baptist. Of the latter piece, the panel of Saint John the Baptist Preaching, now at the storstads- Museum of Art in New York, is said to be the superior of the series.

    His style began its distinction, partially due to a trip to Rome in 1508, where he assisted his old friend Michelangelo briefly in the Sistine Chape
