Bartolomeo di Giovanni

Illustration — A tondo of the Madonna and infant Saint John the Baptist adoring the Christ child with two angels and the Annunciation to the Shepherds beyond; tempera on panel Bartolomeo di Giovanni di Domenico (1458? – 1501) 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" (i.e, "student of Domenico Ghirlandaio"). 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.
