  ANTONIO ROSSELLINO - LoveToKnow Article on ANTONIO ROSSELLINO   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The style of Antonio and his brother Bernardo is a development of that of Donatello and Ghiberti; it possesses all the refinement and sweetness of the earlier masters, but is not equal to them in vigour or originality.
Antonios chief work, still in perfect preservation, is the lovely tomb of a young cardinal prince of Portugal, who died in 1459.
It occupies one side of a small chapel, also built by Rossellino, on the north of the nave of San Miniato al Monte.1 The recumbent effigy of the cardinal rests on a handsome sarcophagus, and over it, under the arch which frames the whole, is a beautiful relief of the Madonna between two flying angels.

 Biography
Antonio was trained by his brother, and his most ambitious work - the tomb of the Cardinal Prince of Portugal in San Miniato al Monte, Florence (1461-66) - is based on Bernardo's Bruni tomb.
It is more elaborate and concerned with movement than Bernardo's masterpiece, but also a less coherent design, and Antonio was a more distinguished artist when working on a smaller scale.
His three panels (1473), carved in high relief, for the bishop's throne of Prato Cathedral are much admired, as is his statue Young Saint John the Baptist (c.

The brothers (1) Bernardo Rossellino and (2) Antonio Rossellino were responsible for some of the most important sculptural projects in Florence between 1440 and 1470.
Although both artists are now referred to as Rossellino (‘little redhead’), this nickname was applied specifically to Antonio; the family name used by both brothers in documents is Gamberelli.
Nevertheless, most of the sculpture associated with the Rossellino family before Bernardo’s death in 1464 seems to have been produced by a single workshop, which presumably included the brothers as well as other sculptors.

He was the most accomplished sculptor among five brothers, all trained in the important workshop led by the eldest brother Bernardo.

John the Baptist, portrayed by Antonio in this graceful bust, was a patron saint of the city of Florence and a favorite figure in Florentine painting and sculpture, where legends were cherished of his youth and he was often represented as a child or (as here) as near to adolescence.

He is generally considered the most important Tuscan marble sculptor working outside Florence during the second half of the 15th century; he is also documented as a painter, although no works have been attributed to him.
Civitali’s training and early years are undocumented, but it is likely that he worked in Antonio Rossellino’s Florentine workshop during the 1460s.
Stylistically Civitali’s sculpture is related to the work of Donatello, Desiderio da Settignano, the Rossellino brothers, Mino da Fiesole and Benedetto da Maiano.
