Jacopo del Casentino
Jacopo del Casentino (* around 1297 , † after 1349 , also Jacopo Landino or Jacopo da Prato Vecchio , possibly from Pratovecchio or Casentino depending on the nickname ) was an Italian late Gothic painter .
Life
He was a student of Taddeo Gaddi in Arezzo and followed him to Florence . There they founded the painter's society for the Blessed Virgin and Saints John the Baptist, Zenobius, Reparata and Luke in 1349. He painted in Florence for the Orsanmichele and the Cathedral of Florence .
In 1354 he went back to Arezzo, where he repaired the city fountains and painted many frescoes that have not been preserved.
His blind son Francesco Landino was a composer. His students include Agnolo Gaddi and Spinello Aretino . Giorgio Vasari added it to his collection of biographies.
He specialized in small altars for private individuals and popularized them in Italy with Bernardo Daddi . His works include the Cagnola Triptych in the Uffizi (1325-1330), the only work that can be safely attributed to him. It shows influences from Giotto , in whose workshop he may have studied (his teacher Taddeo Gatti was also a pupil of Giotto), and the school of Siena ( Pietro Lorenzetti and his brother Ambrogio ).
