RAFFAELLINO DEL GARBO (1466, or perhaps 1476-1524)  , Florentine painter . His real name was Raffaello

Capponi; Del Garbo was a nickname, bestowed upon him seemingly from the graceful nicety (garbo) of his earlier works . He has also been called Raffaello de Florentia, and Raffaello de Carolis . He was a pupil of Filippino Lippi, with whom he remained till 1490, if not later . He showed great facility in design, and excited hopes which the completed body of his works fell short of . He married and had a large family; embarrassments and a haphazard manner of work ensued; and finally he lapsed into a very dejected and penurious condition . Three of his best tempera pictures are in the Berlin Gallery; one of the Madonna standing with her Infant between two musician-angels, is particularly attractive . We may also name the oil-painting of the " Resurrection " done for the church of Monte Oliveto, Florence, now in the academy of the same city, ordinarily reputed to be Raffaellino's masterpiece; the ceiling of the Caraffa Chapel in the church of the Minerva, Rome; and a " Coronation of the Virgin " in the Louvre, which is a production of much merit, though with somewhat over-studied grace . Angelo Allori was his pupil .
