He was born in Florence. Already as a 12-year old, he became a pupil of Cosimo Rosselli, and a fellow-pupil with Fra Bartolommeo, with whom he painted many works. In 1494 the two started their own studio. When Fra Bartolommeo joined the Dominican order in 1500, Albertinelli carried on alone.

Albertinelli's paintings carry traces of both Perugino's sense of perspective, old Dutch landscape portrayal, and da Vinci's sfumato technique. His chief paintings are in Florence, notably his masterpiece, the Visitation (1503) at the Uffizi.
