Lippo Vanni
Lippo Vanni (also Lippo Vanni di Giovanni , * around 1315, probably in Siena , † after 1375) was an Italian painter and illuminator from the School of Siena . He was active as a painter from 1341 to 1375 and was mentioned in a document during this time.
Life
In addition to his work as a painter, he was also active as a politician in the Council of Twelve of the city of Siena and for the Riformatori . He was elected to the Grand Council in 1360 and 1373 . In 1344 he was listed in writing in the order book of the Hospice Santa Maria della Scala to decorate hymn books. Illumination remained his main activity until 1360, after which he also turned to paintings and frescoes. He probably learned this from Niccolò di Ser Sozzo (also Niccolò di Ser Sozzo Tegliaccio , * in Siena; † 1363 ibid). His main works of fresco painting include the works in the church of San Leonardo al Lago near Monteriggioni , almost exclusively by him , the others by Baldassare Peruzzi , the architect of the building. He also painted the frescoes of the cloister of the Basilica di San Domenico in Siena together with Lippo Memmi .
