Andrea Da Firenze
Italian artist
born 1343 - died 1377
Andrea da Firenze (Andrea Bonaiuti),
Florentine painter. From January 1346 Andrea
Da Firenze was
registered in the Arte dei Medici e Speziali
in Florence. The earliest paintings that can
be attributed to him suggest that Andrea Da
Firenze must
have formed a close association with the
workshop of Andrea di Cione. The small
portable triptych of the Virgin and Child
with Saints and Angels (centre panel,
Copenhagen, Statens Museum for Kunst; side
panels of the Nativity and the Crucifixion,
Houston,Museum of Fine Arts) shows the
influence of Maso di Banco and of the
painter of the Strozzi Chapel frescoes in
the Chiostrino dei Morti, S Maria Novella,
Florence. |
