Antonio del Ceraiuolo

Antonio del Ceraiuolo was a Florentine Renaissance painter active in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, known for his devotional panel paintings and portraits heavily influenced by his contemporaries Lorenzo di Credi and Ridolfo Ghirlandaio. He produced altarpieces and sacred works primarily for Florentine patrons, working within the established traditions of the Florentine school. His name, meaning 'the wax-chandler,' suggests his family's trade background before his emergence as a professional painter.
