there in 1621.

school; son
and pupil of
Alessandro
Allori, and afterward
pupil
of Santo di Tito,
both scholars
of Angelo
Bronzino,
whose style
Cristofano at
first followed, but abandoned for the new
Florentine eclectic manner based on that of
Correggio. He became one of the best artists

were irregular and he left but few pictures.
He excelled in portrait painting. By far
his best work is Judith, Palazzo Pitti, Florence.
Other examples: Hospitality of St.
Julian, St. John in the Desert, Pitti; Adoration
of the Magi, Infant Christ, Magdalen,
Uffizi, Florence; Isabella of Aragon imploring
Charles VIII. for her Father.—Ch. Blanc,
École florentine; Meyer, Künst. Lex., i. 508;
Baldinucci, x. 259.
