His works correspond to the conservative tradition of the Florentine school, which is reflected as the legacy of Ridolfo Ghirlandaio . He specialized in the manufacture of devotional motifs, over time he began to introduce small innovations in style that give a hint to paintings by Andrea del Sarto . Giorgio Vasari described him as a painter in 1568.
