Credi, Lorenzo di
Credi, Lorenzo di (b Florence, c.1458; d Florence, 12 Jan. 1537). Florentine painter. He was a fellow pupil of Leonardo in Verrocchio's workshop and he seems to have stayed there until Verrocchio's death in 1488, managing the painting side of his master's varied business. He was a very fine craftsman, but his style lacked individuality. His early work is in an extremely prosaic version of Leonardo's youthful style; later he absorbed some of the ideas of the High Renaissance. He had several pupils and seems to have had a fairly successful career with his solid, unspectacular skills. It is said that in the 1490s he was influenced by the teachings of Savonarola (see Bartolommeo and Botticelli) and destroyed all his pictures with profane subjects.
