Fra Bartolomeo or Bartolommeo (1472 – 1517)

• His original name Baccio della Porta.
• He was an Italian Renaissance painter of religious subjects.
• He spent all his career in Florence until his mid-forties, when he travelled to work in various cities, as far south as Rome.
• He trained with Cosimo Roselli and in the 1490s fell under the influence of Savonarola, which led him to become a Dominican friar in 1500, renouncing painting for several years.
• Typically his paintings are of static groups of figures in subjects such as the Virgin and Child with Saints.
• He was instructed to resume painting for the benefit of his order in 1504, and then developed an idealized High Renaissance style.
• He was friends with Raphael, and each influenced the other.
• The displayed painting is a crop from: Fra Bartolomeo, Adam and Eve with Cain and Abel, by 1512.
