Rosso Fiorentino (Giovanni Battista Rosso; 1494-1540) - A mannerist painter—student of Andrea del Sarto and colleague of Pontormo—whose experiments with light and color sometimes anticipate the French Impressionists and whose painting of a terminally cutesy lute-plucking cherub graces the covers of books on angels the world over. This and greater Rosso works hang in the Uffizi, and a fantastic Deposition, one of mannerism's masterpieces, hangs in Volterra's Pinacoteca e Museo Civico.
