Lorenzo di Credi

c. 1459-1537 Italy/High Renaissance

 

Brief Biography-Lorenzo di Credi, a disciple of Andrea Verrocchio, was born in Florence. He studied alongside Lionardo da Vinci and Pietro Perugino. Lionardo strongly influenced him, and his manner of pencilling skills was said to surpass that of his master. When Verrocchio died, Lorenzo took over the management of his atelier. Some of his Holy Family and Madonna works resemble Perugino’s style. Alongside painting, he also engaged in sculpture and enjoyed considerable success in both mediums. He had a happy retirement, away from the strains of his profession.
