Raffaello del Brescianino or Dei Piccinelli was together with his brother Andrea known as the Brescianini of Siena. He was the son of a dancing-master at Siena where he flourished from 1507 to 1525. He was the pupil of a Sienese painter named Giovan Battista Giusi and they together painted an altar-piece representing the ‘Virgin and Child with Saints’ which is in the Siena Academy and in 1524 the ‘Baptism of Christ’ for the baptistery of the cathedral of the same city.
