Michelozzo di Bartolommeo: A Master of the Renaissance
Early Life and InfluencesMichelozzo di Bartolommeo (c.
1396-1472) was an Italian architect and sculptor born to Burgundian parents in Florence. Alongside Masolino da Panicale and Lorenzo Ghiberti, he played a pivotal role in disseminating the artistic language of the Renaissance.
Collaboration with Ghiberti and Donatello
From 1417 to 1424, Michelozzo served as Lorenzo Ghiberti's assistant in casting and chasing.
Subsequently, he collaborated with Donatello in a shared workshop from 1425 to 1438. Together, they created the tomb of the antipope John XXIII (c. 1422-1428) and the altar of Prato Cathedral (1428-1438).
