Brief Biography-Antonio del Pollaiuolo was the older brother of Piero Pollaiuolo. They worked together in Florence. Both were painters, goldsmiths, and sculptors; however, Antonio was more successful as a sculptor. In addition, he dissected bodies to study anatomy, although it was a subject of interest to both. Donatello and Andrea del Castagno influenced their work, and Piero studied under Castagno. In Rome, Antonio made the tombs of Pope Sixtus the Fourth and Pope Innocent the Eighth. Sandro Botticelli was one of his most noted students. He died in Rome in 1498.
