Trained by Domenico Ghirlandaio (1449-1494), his main master was Andrea del Sarto (1486-1530) who was also his close friend and who influenced him throughout his career. From his time, Puligo had a reputation as an excellent painter of portraits and easel paintings, but it was above all his religious compositions such as "The Holy Family" that made his reputation. He also collaborated with Ridolfi Ghirlandaio (1483-1561).
