Biography:
Fra Bartolommeo, born Bartolomeo di Paolo del Fattorino in 1472 in Florence, Italy, was a prominent painter of the High Renaissance. He was a key figure in the development of the Florentine school, known for his harmonious compositions and refined use of color. Bartolommeo entered the Dominican order in 1500, which significantly influenced his artistic output, leading him to focus on religious themes. His collaboration with Raphael and influence on Michelangelo underscore his impact on the art of his time. Among his notable works are "The Vision of St. Bernard" and "The Madonna and Child with Saints." Fra Bartolommeo passed away in 1517, leaving behind a legacy of deeply spiritual and technically accomplished paintings.
