 Painters Of Florence - Antonio Pollaiuolo
Their father, Jacopo d'Antonio Benci, also surnamed del Pollaiuolo, was one of the goldsmiths employed by Lorenzo Ghiberti, and is said to have executed a wonderful quail in the ornamental work of one of the Baptistery gates.
He probably received his first instruction in painting from Andrea del Castagno, whom Vasari mentions as Piero's teacher, and was strongly influenced by Donatello, while both brothers adopted the technique of Alessio Baldovinetti, and followed him in the use of new oil glazes and varnishes.
Another characteristic work by Piero, the Annunciation, now at Berlin, is remarkable for its fine Renaissance architecture and variegated marbles, as well as for the profusion of pearls and gems which adorn the angel's robes and the Virgin's chair.

The brothers (1) Antonio Pollaiuolo and (2) Piero Pollaiuolo were the sons of Jacopo d’Antonio di Giovanni Benci, a Florentine poulterer (hence their nickname).
Piero Pollaiuolo worked primarily as a panel painter and developed new skills in handling the medium of oil paint, particularly in landscape representation.
It seems clear that Antonio was the leader of the workshop and was primarily a draughtsman and a sculptor in metal, whereas paintings produced by the workshop were executed largely by Piero Pollaiuolo.

Portrait of Galeazzo Maria Sforza by POLLAIUOLO, Piero del
Piero Pollaiuolo painted the portrait from the design of his brother, Antonio on the occasion of the visit of Sforza to Florence.
The painting, its rather dark colours unenlivened by any landscape views, plays on the changing colour tones of the materials and on the characteristic physiognomy of its striking protagonist.
