(November 17, 1503 - November 23, 1572), usually known as Il Bronzino, or Agnolo Bronzino (mistaken attempts also have been made in the past to assert his name was Agnolo Tori and even Angelo (Agnolo) Allori), was an Italian Mannerist painter from Florence. The origin of his nickname, Bronzino is unknown, but could derive from his dark complexion, or from that he gave many of his portrait subjects. Bronzino was born in Florence. According to his contemporary Vasari, Bronzino was a pupil first of Raffaellino del Garbo, and then of Pontormo. The latter was ultimately the primary influence on Bronzino's developing style and the young artist remained devoted to his eccentric teacher.   Related Paintings of Angelo Bronzino :. | Altar der Kapelle der Eleonora da Toledo, Szene: Kreuzabnahme, Detail | Portrait of Eleonora di Toledo | Portrait of Ludovico Capponi | Eleonora di Toledo | Venus, Cupid, Folly and Time |
