Jacopo da Sellaio - Triumph of Time. Detail. 1485 - 1490

Simonetta Vespucci   (1453 - 1476)

Portrait of a Young Woman is believed to be Sandro Botticelli‘s, executed between 1480 and 1485. Others attribute authorship to Jacopo da Sellaio. The cameo she wears is a copy in reverse of "Nero's Seal", a famous antique carnelian representing Apollo and Marsyas, which belonged to Lorenzo de' Medici.

The art historian Aby Warburg first suggested the painting was an idealised portrait of Simonetta Vespucci (birth of Venus)

On this day in 1516, Florentine painter Biagio d'Antonio dei Tucci died. He was a prolific artist who was successful both in his native Florence and in other places in Italy; yet, he is often omitted from literature. His works were often confused with, and credited to more renowned artists like Perugino, Botticelli, and Ghirlandaio. Like Biagio, these artists also worked in Rome and decorated the Sistine Chapel during the 1480s. A similar instance occurred with commissions in Faenza, where Biagio was confused with the painters Andrea Utili and Giovanni Battista Utili who, coincidently, also resided in the town and painted cassoni.

As a result, scholars know little about Biagio’s early training. His style exhibits Florentine’s innovations of the late fifteenth-century, such as Fra Fillipo Lippi’s linear style of modeling, Verrocchio’s sculptural influence, and the integration of Netherlandish coloring. Biagio’s connection to Verrocchio is unknown, yet it is confirmed that he collaborated with the painter Cosimo Rosselli in 1470. At this point though, he was a fully trained artist. 

Biagio specialized in works for domestic interiors, such as religious panel paintings featuring the Madonna and Child and decorative wedding chests exhibiting biblical and mythological scenes. Biagio favored rich colors that illuminated his subject matter. By 1472, he shared a workshop with Jacopo del Sellaio, with whom he collaborated on cassoni commissions. He established a large studio in Faenza by 1476, which he maintained for about thirty years. While he was based in Faenza, Biagio traveled to various Italian cities to assist other artists on large commissions. For example, he aided Pietro Perugino with paintings in the Palazzo della Signoria. Then, between 1481 and 1482, he worked with Cosimo Rosselli on frescoes in the Sistine Chapel. Their works included The Last Supper and most likely The Crossing of the Red Sea.

Documents prove that he was still active in 1504 when he painted an altarpiece for the widow of Vincenzo Bazzolini depicting the Madonna and Child with Saints John the Evangelist and Anthony of Padua for the church of San Francesco in Faenza. After 1504, it is unknown whether he had other commissions or if he returned to Florence. Biagio d'Antonio dei Tucci died on June 1, 1516.
