Biography

He is mainly known for works, along with his brothers Gerolamo and Francesco, they completed in collaboration with their father. He painted an Annunciation now in New York.[1] He is different from the contemporary painter Alesso Baldovinetti. Bennozo himself is sometimes called Benozzo di Lese (Alesso) after his father Lese.

After 1495, Benozzo was invited to Pistoia, by his son Francesco. There, along with Alesso and Gerolamo painted various works, including an incomplete Maestà for the Palazzo Comunale.[2]
