ABSTRACT

The late-fifteenth-century Florentine painter Cosimo Rosselli has escaped close scrutiny in many surveys of Renaissance art. Unlike his contemporary Francesco Botticini, recently re-established in that canon,1 Rosselli has re­ mained in the shadows, the most recent monograph dedicated to him being that published by Lorenzoni in 1921. A partial re-evaluation of Cosimo Rosselli is offered here.
