Florentine school; pupil of Do- menico and David Ghirlandajo at same time with Michelangelo, with whom he formed an intimate friendship. His early tendency was to imitate the Michelangelesque, at the same time endeavouring to acquire the tech- nical improvements of Mariotto Albertinelli and of Fra Bartolommeo. He was one of those whom Michelangelo invited to Rome in 1508 to aid in the frescos of the Sistine Chapel, but he did not satisfy him, and this led to their estrangement. After that Gra- nacci came under Raphael's influence. On his return to Florence he became Ridolfo Ghirlandajo's partner, and devoted himself chiefly to the painting of banners and stage scenery. Among his best pictures are Vir- gin in Glory, Uffizi, Florence ; Holy Fam- ily, Palazzo Pitti, ib. ; Virgin and Saints, Academy, ib. ; Madonna and Saints, The Trinity, Berlin Museum ; The Virgin ador- ing the Child, Four Saints, Old Pinakothek, Munich ; Nativity, Hermitage, St. Peters- burg.
