Life

Andrea di Bartolo (also Andrea di Bartolo di Fredi Battilori ) was born as the son of Bartolo di Fredi and his wife Bartolommea di Cecco. He first appeared as a painter in 1389 when he helped his father and Luca di Tommè with work in the cathedral of Siena . From 1405 to 1410 he worked independently on decorations for the cathedral, including in the Cappella di San Vittorio , where in 1409 he designed the figure of San Crescenzio . In 1410 he painted the figures of Sant'Ansano and San Crescenzio by Francesco di Valdambrino , also in the cathedral of Siena, for which he also created window decorations for the sacristy. In the years 1409-1424 he also held various public offices in Siena. During this time his only signed and dated work was created, the Quattro santi of 1413 with the Saints San Giovanni Battista, San Francesco, San Pietro, San Giovanni evangelista for the Basilica dell'Osservanza in Siena. In 1417 he bought a house for 97 Fiorini in Camollia, a third of Senese city . From 1425 at the latest, his workshop was located near the Chiesa di San Cristoforo in the Contrada Tolomei (today Piazza Tolomei, is in the Contrada Civetta (owl)).

His last work was for the Chiesa di San Francesco in Treviso . It is also his only work that he created as a fresco . He died on June 3, 1428 and was buried on the same day near the cloister of the Basilica di San Domenico . Two of his sons, Giorgio d'Andrea di Bartoli and Sano di Andrea Battilori, also became painters. His wife Cristofora died in 1444.
