Michelozzi, Michelozzo di Bartolommeo 1396-1472
Italian architect and sculptor

Born in Florence, he was associated with Lorenzo Ghiberti on his famous bronze doors for the baptistery there, and collaborated with Donatello in several major sculpture groups, including monuments to (the antipope) Pope John XXIII and Cardinal Brancacci (1427). He was court architect to Cosimo de' Medici, with whom he was in exile at Venice, where he designed a number of buildings. One of his finest works is the Ricardi Palace in Florence.
