Biography

Almost no details are known about his life. He is a provincial painter who mixes influences from both the Tuscan Quattrocento and late Gothic period. He is known from pieces derived from a few religious paintings and predellas, including a triptych at the church of Santa Maria Assunta, Borsigliana and a painting at Santa Maria Assunta at Stazzema. There is a painting of an enthroned Madonna at the Museo Nazionale of Villa Guinigi in Lucca.
