The third generation of artist in his family, he was very successful and prolific, running a large studio. His works were often painted on a gold ground as in the present work and have their origins in the work of the 14th century Florentine, Giotto. He was referred to by the great art historian of the Italian Renaissance, Giorgio Vasari, as the last of the Giottoesque painters. His work retained lots of 14th century decorative features, yet also integrated more naturalistic elements to his figures, as was being developed by contemporaries such as Fra Angelico and Fra Filippo Lippi. He left meticulous records of his work and business, ‘Le Ricordanze’, which have provided a big insight into art practices of the 15th century and detailing materials, commissions, patrons and frames. He had many pupils and his studio is recorded as creating over 50 Madonna and Child paintings. The present work appears to be contemporary with the artist and is based on ‘Madonna and Child Enthroned’, Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest.
