 | | Bernardo di Matteo Gamberelli (Settignano near Florence 1409 – Florence, 1464), better known as Bernardo Rossellino, was a Florentine sculptor and architect, the elder brother of the painter Antonio Rossellino. |
 | | As a young man Rossellino was the pupil and collaborator of Leone Battista Alberti, from whose sketches and plans he constructed the Palazzo Rucellai, Florence, one of the very first fully Renaissance palazzi. |
 | | Rossellino was active in Tuscany and Rome, where he worked a lot for Pope Nicholas V, enlarging the transept and apse of the Old St. Peter's Basilica (1452–55) that was swept away in the following generation. |
