Lorenzo di Niccolò

Who is Lorenzo di Niccolò?

Lorenzo di Niccolò was an Italian painter active in Florence from 1391 to 1412.

Often erroneously cited as the son of Niccolò di Pietro Gerini, with whom he realized some works, this artist transformed his style from one more reminiscent of Giotto to one more elegant and linear, similar to that of such artists as Lorenzo Monaco. Together with Niccolò di Pietro Gerini, he painted some frescoes in the Chapterhouse of the convent of San Francesco and the panel Coronation of the Virgin, once in Santa Felicita. A slightly later work for the Medici Chapel in Santa Croce, Florence, dated to 1409 in the predella, today is split between its original location and the Bagatti Valsecchi Museum in Milan.
