Piero di Cosimo

Italian painter (1462–1522)

Piero di Cosimo is remembered for work the next generation could not ignore.

The record lists Piero di Cosimo as Italian painter (1462–1522).

Piero di Cosimo was born at Florence in 1462.

This was the period in which the artist became an individual with a signature, a reputation and a price.

He worked as painter.

Among his best-known works are The Death of Procris, Incarnation of Jesus by Piero di Cosimo and Madonna and Child with a Dove - Piero di Cosimo - Louvre INV 817. A painting outlives the argument about it, which is the only durable form of an artistic reputation.

Piero di Cosimo died in 1522, aged 60. The work remains, hanging in collections that outlived both the artist and the market that first priced it.
