BARTOLOMEO DI GIOVANNI
BARTOLOMEO DI GIOVANNI – Bartolomeo di Giovanni di Domenico was an Italian Renaissance painter active in Florence. His works were first identified by the art historian Bernard Berenson, who did not know the painter’s real name so called him the „Alunno di Domenico“. This name was based on Berenson’s observation that the painter executed the predella of Ghirlandaio’s Adoration of the Magi (1488) in the Ospedale degli Innocenti, the foundling hospital in Florence. Archival research later yielded the painter’s real name as Bartolomeo di Giovanni. Bartolomeo also collaborated with Sandro Botticelli.
