Catalogue Note

Bartolomeo di Giovanni, whose oeuvre was first constructed by Berenson under the name of Alunno di Domenico, is documented as a follower and workshop assistant of Domenico Ghirlandaio, on whose altarpiece of the Adoration of the Magi in the Ospedale degli Innocenti in Florence he is known to have worked in 1488.
