Domenico del Barbiere
Italian painter
Domenico del Barbiere (c. 1506 – c. 1570) was a Florentine artist of the Renaissance period, also referred to as Domenico Fiorentino, and, in France, Dominique Florentin.
He settled and married at Troyes in France between 1530 and 1533. He joined the studio of Italian artists who worked with Primaticcio and Rosso Fiorentino at Fontainebleau and Meudon. He worked both on the stucco-work and frescoes. He was also an engraver.
In 1541, he returned to Troyes, where he enjoyed success as a sculptor for churches. His style of sculpture was influenced, particularly in the heads and the drapery, by Andrea Sansovino, and shows Mannerist characteristics. His Charity, at Saint-Pantaléon in Troyes, suggests that Domenico was aware of Michelangelo's use of contrapposto.
