The whole life1572
Bronzino's death and the signature “Bronzino”
After the death of his teacher Agnolo Bronzino he begins to sign his works in his honor — “Alessandro Bronzino” or “Alessandro Bronzino Allori” (Sandrino for short) — which is why he is often confused with Agnolo Bronzino himself; later his son Cristofano also sometimes uses the name Bronzino.
