Fra Bartolommeo, born March 28, 1472, at Savignano or Sofignano, near Prato, and died October 31, 1517, in Florence, was an important painter of the Florentine school. His real name was Bartolommeo Pagholo del Fattorino, and he was originally known as Baccio della Porta before generally calling himself Fra Bartolommeo or simply Frate after he entered the monastery. Bartolommeo was the child of a muleteer and wagon owner, his grandfather being a peasant from Genoa. After his mother died shortly after his birth, his father remarried and gave birth to four more sons. Bartolommeo began his artistic career around 1484 with the painter Cosimo Rosselli. He and his fellow pupil Mariotto Albertinelli opened a joint workshop in 1492.
Bartolommeo's career was strongly influenced by the penitential sermons of Girolamo Savonarola, whose dedicated follower he was. In 1496 and 1497 he burned all his paintings and drawings that did not conform to Savonarola's strictly religious values. After Savonarola himself was burned in 1498, Bartolommeo was deeply shaken and withdrew to the monastery. After a few years, however, he returned to painting. In 1504 he accepted a commission for the painting "The Apparition of Mary before St. Bernard," which later entered the Academy of Florence. In 1505 he became the head of the painter's workshop of San Marco, and from 1509 to 1512 he again collaborated with Mariotto Albertinelli.
Bartolommeo was a master of composition and powerful coloration. His works are characterized by modest styling and serious expression. He influenced artists such as Raffaello Sanzio Raphael and Andrea del Sarto and left a series of drawings and studies. His most impressive work from this period is the fresco of the Last Judgment, now in the Museum of the Holy Hospital in Florence. In 1514, during a period of illness, he created the Madonna in fresco in the Hospital of the Dominicans at Pian di Mugnone. His most completed works were created between 1515 and 1517, including the Madonna in San Romano at Lucca and the Annunciation in the Louvre.
Fra Bartolommeo was a master of his craft, whose works can now be seen in prestigious museums around the world, including the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, the Panshanger Gallery in England and the Berlin Museum.
