born งใ 1308, Florence?, Republic of Florence
died งใ 1368, Florence

Florentine painter, sculptor, and architect.

A goldsmith's son, he was the leading member of a family of painters and the most prominent Florentine artist of the mid 14th century. His altarpiece for the Strozzi Chapel in Florence's Santa Maria Novella (1354-57) shows his ability to unify the multiple panels of a polyptych. As a sculptor he is known for a single work: the tabernacle in the guild oratory of Or San Michele (1352-60), a decorative structure of great complexity that is among the finest examples of the expressive Art that sprang up in Tuscany after the Black Death. He was employed as architect on Florence's Duomo (cathedral) in 1357 and 1364-67.
