 | | It is thought that he subsequently worked with Benozzo Gozzoli, whose influence is evident in his early work, but Cosimo was receptive to the styles of almost all his more gifted contemporaries, including Alesso Baldovinetti (said by Baldinucci to have been his master), Andrea del Verrocchio and the Pollaiuolo brothers. |
 | | Cosimos first surviving works of importance are the frescoes in the style of Baldovinetti in the Salutati Chapel, Fiesole Cathedral, datable to between 1462 and 1466, but these are heavily restored. |
 | | A better illustration of his early style is the St Barbara altarpiece (14689; Florence, Accad.) from the Flemish and German confraternitys chapel in SS Annunziata, Florence; it has hard forms, incised outlines and stiff, slightly ungainly figures. |
