Bartolomeo di Giovanni, c. (1458 - 1501)

• Was an Italian Renaissance painter active in Florence.
• His works were first identified by the art historian Bernard Berenson, who did not know the painter's real name so called him the "Alunno di Domenico" (i.e., "student of Domenico Ghirlandaio").
• Archival research later yielded the painter's real name as Bartolomeo di Giovanni.
• Bartolomeo also collaborated with Sandro Botticelli.

• Bartolomeo di Giovanni painted many narrative panels, including predella, cassone and spalliera panels.

• He also painted altarpieces, such as the Madonna and Child with Four Saints (1498) for San Giovanni di Boldrone, Florence, now at the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum.
