Italian painter. He was a pupil of Cristofano Allori, with whom he was a frequent collaborator and some of whose works he finished after his master’s death. Indeed, his most famous painting, Michelangelo with Poetry, was painted for the Casa Buonarroti and is based on a drawing by Allori. Furthermore, Madonna and Child in Glory in the Duomo, Pisa is also a joint work of the two artists.
