| Painter, born in Borgo San Sepolcro, NC Italy. His major work is a series of frescoes illustrating ‘The Legend of the True Cross’ (1452–66) in the choir of S Francesco at Arezzo. An unfinished ‘Nativity’ in the London National Gallery shows some Flemish influence. He also wrote a treatise on geometry and a manual on perspective. |
