Antonio del Pollaiolo produced the most prized male nudes of the early Renaissance. Either he or his brother, Piero, produced the greatest painting of Sebastiane (the one on which, I assume, Derek Jarman modeled his great filmic representation of the martyrdom.) His representations of Hercules, both in painting and sculpture remain iconic to this day. Few painters have shown such joy in the depiction of muscular strain. The homoerotic component of his work was likely admired in his own day as well.

Pollaiolo produced major work in pretty much every medium available to visual artists of his time: drawing, engraving, bronze, tapestry design, fresco and panel painting. He painted lovely portraits and figures of women as well, from the ladies of the courts in Florence and Rome to the mythical Magdalene and Daphne.
