Girolamo di Benvenuto di Giovanni del Guasta

Girolamo di Benvenuto di Giovanni del Guasta was an Italian painter born in 1470 in Siena and died in 1524. He was a prominent figure of the Sienese School, a regional art movement known for its distinct style that diverged from the Florentine emphasis on linear perspective. Girolamo was the son of the painter Benvenuto di Giovanni, under whom he likely received his initial training. His work is characterized by its delicate use of color and graceful figures, contributing to the continuation of the Sienese tradition during the Renaissance. Among his notable works are altarpieces and frescoes that reflect the influence of both his father and the broader artistic trends of his time. Girolamo's contributions helped sustain the unique qualities of Sienese art during a period of significant artistic evolution in Italy.
