ANGIOLO, a Florentine painter, born in 1502. This artist was, like his friend Vasari, a follower of the school of Buonarroti. His historical fresco pictures in the Palazzo Vecchio at Florence, and some of his altar-pieces, are graceful and spirited; but some of the latter are in a feeble style. His portraits are in many Italian collections, and are praiseworthy for truth and expression; but the flesh tints are often too leaden, or too raw, from the want of that gradation of middle tints that give harmony to a picture. He died about 1571.
