Raffaellino del Garbo (1466 or perhaps 1476 - 1524) was a Florentine painter of the early-Renaissance.
His real name was Raffaello Capponi; Del Garbo was a nickname, bestowed upon him seemingly from the graceful nicety (garbo) of his earlier works. He has also been called Raffaello de Florentia, and Raffaello de Carolis. He was a pupil of Filippino Lippi, with whom he remained till 1490, if not later. He married and had a large family.
Among his works are a Resurrection, originally for the church of Monte Oliveto, Florence, now in the Accademia. He painted the Miracle of the Loaves in the refectory of the convent at Cesto. he painted the ceiling of the chapel of St. Thomas Acquinas (Caraffa Chapel) in the church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome, in which he assisted Lippi. A Coronation of the Virgin is in the Louvre museum. A Madonna and child with Saints and donors was previously at the Berlin Museum.
Angelo Allori was his pupil.
