| biography:
| Painter, born in Florence, NC Italy, the son of Gaddo Gaddi. He was Giotto's best pupil and also his godson. His finest work is seen in the frescoes of ‘The Life of the Virgin’ in the Baroncelli chapel of S Croce. Though the best-known of Giotto's followers, his style deviated from that of his master, whom he does not match in figure painting, but whom he excels in architectural perspective. |
