Biography:
Originally Domenico di Giovanni di Pace, he took the name of his father’s patron and called himself Domenico Beccafumi. He went to Rome and admired the work of Raphael and Michelangelo. He then encountered Leonardo da Vinci’s paintings on a trip to Florence. Beccafumi’s early paintings were the forerunners of Mannerism, leaning towards emotional and compositional imbalance rather than the harmonious art of the Renaissance. In the late 1520’s, he became the official painter to the Sienese republic, decorating many churches with his paintings and frescoes. Beccafumi also was a mosaic designer, sculptor, wood engraver, and etcher.
