Fra Bartolomeo or Bartolommeo, also known as Bartolommeo di Pagholo, Bartolommeo di San Marco, Paolo di Jacopo del Fattorino, and his original nickname Baccio della Porta, was an Italian Renaissance painter of religious subjects. He spent all his career in Florence until his mid-forties, when he travelled to work in various cities, as far south as Rome. He trained with Cosimo Rosselli and in the 1490s fell under the influence of Savonarola, which led him to become a Dominican friar in 1500, renouncing painting for several years. Typically his paintings are of static groups of figures in subjects such as the Virgin and Child with Saints.

Mannerism is a style in European art that emerged in the later years of the Italian High Renaissance around 1520, spreading by about 1530 and lasting until about the end of the 16th century in Italy, when the Baroque style largely replaced it. Northern Mannerism continued into the early 17th century.

The Portrait of Andrea Doria is a painting finished c. 1526 by the Italian High Renaissance painter Sebastiano Del Piombo. It was painted after Sebastiano had fully mastered his Roman style. The painting depicts Andrea Doria, a famed naval commander from Genoa. Doria had rescued the city from French control and was made a prince as a reward. The naval symbols on the relief at the bottom of the painting emphasize Doria's rank of Admiral. The imitation antique relief at the bottom of the painting was likely included at the wishes of the patron.
