| | Lorenzo di Credi - Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) |
 | | Though not a very original painter, Lorenzo was technically proficient, with the result that the meticulously detailed, enamel-like surfaces of his pictures are, as a rule, better preserved than are the works of his teacher or his fellow pupils. |
 | | Lorenzo continued Verrocchio's style well into the sixteenth century, and the commissions he received were, accordingly, conservative in character, and mainly for half-length devotional pictures and altarpieces. |
 | | Lorenzo painted very few secular works, but he was sought after as a portraitist; among his finest works is a series of keenly observant metalpoint drawings of the heads of men, women, and children. |
