Giuliano Bugiardini

Portrait of a Woman, 1506-1510.

Giuliano Bugiardini (January 29, 1475 – February 17, 1555) was an Italian painter of the late-Renaissance period known as Mannerism, born and mainly active in Florence.

Also known as Giuliano di Piero di Simone, he may have initially apprenticed with a sculptor Bertoldo, but then apprenticed with the painter Domenico Ghirlandaio. In 1503, he joined the painter's guild, the Compagnia di San Luca, and began an association with Mariotto Albertinelli that continued until 1509, when Albertinelli moved to the studio of Fra Bartolomeo. Bugiardini’s Virgin and Child can be seen in the National Museum in Warsaw. Vasari mentioned Bugiardini assisted Michelangelo very briefly in 1508 with the painting of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. He also painted in Bologna in 1526–1530. He painted a Rape of Diana which can be seen at the Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien in Vienna. He painted a Martyrdom of St Catherine for Santa Maria Novella in Florence, based on Michelangelo's sketches.
