MASTER of 1310

Italian painter, active in Pistoia at the beginning of the fourteenth century. His name is derived from an altarpiece depicting the Madonna and Child with Angels and Donators dated 1310 (now in the Musée du Petit Palais, Avignon).

In addition to the altarpiece in Avignon, a series of frescos in the church of San Giovanni Fuoricivitas in Pistoia, dated to 1307, is also ascribed to him; this depicts the story of the Passion in fairly expressionistic terms. Another altarpiece, a Madonna and Child with Saints on the high altar of the church of Mary Magdalene in the convent of the Humiliati in Pistoia, today in its Civic Museum, has been ascribed to his late period.
