Bartolommeo Berrecci

He also took over Florentino's workshop, with the artists Bernardino de Gianotis, Giovanni Cini from Siena, Mikołaj Castiglione, and five members of the Soli family.

[2] He worked in Kraków, Niepołomice, Poznań, Tarnów and most likely in Vilnius where the Royal Palace of Lithuania was reconstructed.

The most important work of Berrecci is the chapel of the last Jagiellonians, the Sigismund Chapel for King Sigismund I the Old at the Wawel (1517–1533) in Kraków; It is considered to be the most beautiful piece of Italian Renaissance architecture outside of Italy.

His death in 1537 was the result of an infection caused by a worksite accident during work on the tomb of Piotr Tomicki.

[3] Berrecci's other works include: He is one of the characters on the famous painting by Jan Matejko, Prussian Homage.
