GIROLAMO DI BENVENUTO
(b. 1470 Siena, d. 1524 Siena)
Italian painter, pupil and longtime collaborator of his father, Benvenuto di Giovanni. He asserted himself as an independent painter on 1498, completing the Assumption now on display in the museum at Montalcino. His secular work is particularly important, especially his birth trays (Hercules at the Crossroad, Galleria Franchetti, Ca’ d’Oro, Venice).
