Francesco Pesellino (probably 1422-July 29, 1457), also known as Francesco di
Stefano, Il Pesellino, Francesco Peselli, and Francesco di Stefano Pesellino was
an Italian (Florentine) painter. His father was the painter Stefano di Francesco
(died 1427), and his maternal grandfather was the painter Giuliano Pesello
(1367-1446), from whose name the diminutive nickname of "Pesellino" arose. After
the death of his father in 1427, the young Francesco Pesellino went to live with
his grandfather, Giuliano Pesello, adopting his name. Francesco Pesellino
remained in his grandfather’s studio until the latter’s death, when he joined
the studio of Filippo Lippi (ca.1406-1469). He married in 1442, and probably
joined the Florence painters' guild in 1447. In the following years he made a
reputation with small, highly finished, works, either religious subjects for
predellas or private devotions, or secular subjects, often for insetting into
furniture or panelling.
Pesellino died in Florence in 1457, at only 35, cutting short a career with
great promise. His style "anticipates the developments of later Florentine
painters such as Verrocchio and the Pollaiuoli
