Antonio del Pollaiuolo (c. 1431-1498) was a Florentine goldsmith, painter, sculptor, and engraver who excelled in depicting the human body in motion. His interest in anatomy and muscular tension made him a pioneer of dynamic figure composition in Renaissance Florence.
Pollaiuolo's Battle of the Nudes engraving (c. 1470) is one of the most important prints of the 15th century. His bronze tomb of Pope Sixtus IV in St. Peter's Basilica and the tomb of Innocent VIII are among the finest Renaissance papal monuments. He trained as a goldsmith under his father, and this metalworking background informed his sculptural precision.
