ART HISTORY
Born in Volterra, Italy, Francesco Granacci (Italian, 1469–1543) was a Renaissance painter who studied alongside his friend Michelangelo. During this time the young Granacci was still forming his own expressive voice, but after a trip to Rome in 1508 to briefly assist Michelangelo with the Sistine Chapel, Granacci began to create his own distinctive style. His use of radiant colors and compelling settings, as well as the fluidity of his technique showed a maturity to his work that gave him the recognition as one of the great artists of the Renaissance.DESCRIPTION
