Holy Family with St. Anne and the infant St. John the Baptist, detail (c.1550). Agnolo Bronzino (Italian, 1503-72). Oil on panel. Louvre.
After studying with Raffaellino del Garbo, an early Florentine Renaissance painter, Bronzino became a student of Jacopo Pontormo, a founder of the Florentine Mannerist style. It was under Pontormo, that Bronzino was greatly influenced, but he was also one of the few students to endure studies under the difficult Andrea del Sarto.
