- angelo, and some of his works show his influence,
though he was not one of his imitators. He painted both in fresco and in oil, and was a decided mannerist in his historical pictures. His portraits of members of the Medici family, his patrons, and of many distinguished men of his time, are by far his best works and among the finest of the 16th century. His largest work is Descent of Christ into Limbo (1552), Uffizi, Florence. Among his best pictures are: The Engineer, Pitti, Florence; Lady, Boy with a Letter, Young Sculptor, Uffizi, Florence; Venus, Cupid, Folly and Time, Knight of St. Stephen, Portraits of a Lady and of Duke Cosimo I., National Gallery, London; Venus and Cupid, Buda-Pesth Gallery; Dead Christ, Florence Academy; Christ appearing to Magdalen, Louvre.—Vasari, ed. Le Mon., xiii. 159, 170; Ch. Blanc, École florentine; Burckhardt, 640, 647, 756, 758; Meyer, Künst. Lex., i. 494.
