_Albertinelli_ (Florentine: 1474-1515).
Mariotto Albertinelli, a pupil of Cosimo Rosselli, was the
friend and assistant of the painter-monk, Fra Bartolommeo (see
1694). He himself, being of an impatient character, "was so
offended with certain criticisms of his work," says Vasari,
"that he gave up painting and turned publican."
This picture is often now attributed to a later painter--Sogliani,
1492-1544.
