About Domenico Bartolomeo Ubaldini il Puligo

  • Biography

    The painter initially studied under Ridolfo Ghirlandaio (1483-1561) and then worked as an assistant to Andrea del Sarto (1486-1530/31), with whom he was a close friend. The emphasis on color is a result of the Mannerist influence of Jacopo da Carucci Pontormo (1494-1556/57) and Fiorentino Rosso (1494-1540). It is noteworthy that numerous, perhaps even the majority, of his Madonna paintings exhibit this strong sfumato effect, which was intended to convey a certain aloofness to these saintly figures, whereas the painter definitely preferred a hard contour style in secular portraits.
