Andrea di Cosimo

Andrea Feltrini, called also Andrea di Cosimo, was a Florentine painter who excelled in grotesques. He was born in 1478, and died in 1548. His works are to be met with at Florence on the fronts of houses, on walls, and on ceilings. He is called by the first name, from his having been a scholar of Morto da Feltre, and by the second from his having studied art under Cosimo Roselli.
