Lorenzo di Credi (lōrĕn`tsō dē krĕ`dē), 1459–1537, Florentine painter. He spent his early years in the workshop of Verrocchio, whom he assisted in the painting of an altarpiece at the Cathedral of Pistoia. He was strongly influenced by his fellow pupil Leonardo da Vinci, whose works he copied devotedly. Examples of his art are two of the Madonna (Turin); Annunciation (Uffizi); Madonna Adoring the Child (Metropolitan Mus.); and Boy's Head (Mus. of Fine Arts, Boston). |

From Fra Filippo Lippi through Sandro Botticelli, Lorenzo di Credi, and Piero di Gosimo to Michelangelo, Raphael, and Giuliano Bugiardini, she notes that tondi flooded the Florentine market as part of the idealization of domestic life and the celebration of family relationships. Not only do we see him interacting with his bright young assistants, Lorenzo di Credi and Leonardo da Vinci, but the catalogue entries fully reveal the intelligent dialogues he held with himself and his own works, especially as his thinking moved from drawing to modeling in terracotta to painting and back again. Such an original invention would surely have been emulated prior to the Portrait of the Lady Holding a Ring (Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York), attributed to Lorenzo di Credi and currently dated in the 1490s. |
