Mariotto Albertinelli,born 1474, Florence [Italy] died 1515, Florence.
painter associated with Fra Bartolomeo, and an artist whose style upheld the principles of the High Renaissance in Florence a decade after its leading exponents had moved to Rome.
Albertinelli and Bartolomeo were fellow pupils and later painted many works together. Albertinelli's chief paintings are in Florence, notably his masterpiece, the “Visitation of the Virgin” (1503; Uffizi). His style, similar to Bartolomeo's, is characterized by simple dignity and monumentality and shows particularly the influence of Leonardo da Vinci in its aristocratic, smiling figures, intimate compositions, and strong contrast of light and dark.
