Bacchiacca

1494-1557

Francesco d'Ubertino Verdi, called Bacchiacca. Florentine School. Born 1495; died 1557. Bacchiacca was a pupil of Perugino and a friend of Andrea del Sarto and was influenced also by Franciabigio and Michelangelo. He was noted in his own time as a painter of small figures and of animals and grotesques. He also designed tapestries and festival decorations. Not remarkably inventive himself, Bacchiacca borrowed freely from other artists and even more commonly repeated details from his own compositions.
