Agnolo Gaddi

Agnolo Gaddi (c. 1350 to 1396) was an Italian painter and mosaicist, born and trained in Florence. He was the son of the painter Taddeo Gaddi, who was himself the major pupil of the Florentine master Giotto, making Agnolo the last major Florentine painter stylistically descended from Giotto. In middle age he also settled into commercial life in Venice as a merchant, adding to the family wealth. Among his notable works are eight frescoes on the legend of the Cross in Santa Croce, Florence, and a series on the life of the Virgin at Prato Cathedral; his pupils included Cennino Cennini, who wrote of him in his own treatise on painting.
