From Free net encyclopedia
Image:Piero Pollaiuolo 001.jpg Piero Pollaiuolo (c.1441-1496), also known as Piero Benci, was an Italian painter during the Renaissance. His brother was the artist Antonio Pollaiuolo and the two frequently worked together. Their work shows both classical influences and an interest in human anatomy; reportedly, the brothers carried out dissections to improve their knowledge of the subject.
