1456 CE

Antonio Rossellino, younger brother of noted Florentine architect Bernardo Rossellino, is said to have studied under Donatello and is remarkable for the sharpness and fineness of his bas-relief.

He creates outstanding portrait busts, including, in 1456, a remarkable characterization, based on a life mask, of the physician Giovanni Chellini (Giovanni di San Miniato).

Antonio and Bernardo both have the surname Gamberelli, but are nicknamed Rossellino because of their red hair.
