Rosso Fiorentino Artist
Rosso Fiorentino 1495-1540 was an Italian Mannerist painter who worked in oil and fresco and belonged to the Florentine school. His reputation, along those of other stylised late Renaissance Florentines, was long out of favour in comparison to other more naturalistic and graceful contemporaries, but has revived considerably in recent decades. His masterpiece is generally considered to be the Deposition or Descent from the Cross altarpiece.
