Master from 1310

As champion of 1310 one is medieval painter called, of the late 13th century in Italy worked. The painter who was not known by name probably had his workshop in Pistoia . He received his emergency name after his picture of a Madonna with child and saints and donors, a panel that the master marked with the year 1310. It can now be found in the Musée du Petit Palais in Avignon , France.

A number of frescoes depicting the Passion of Christ in the Church of San Giovanni Fuoricivitas in Pistoia are also attributed to the master of 1310 . These are dated to 1307. He is also assigned an altar from another church in Pistoia, which is attributed to his late creative period. The polyptych from the monastery church of Santa Maria Maddalena shows a Madonna and Child, Saint John and the Apostle and is now in the Museo Civico in Pistoia.

The master of 1310 shows the influence of paintings from Florence and Siena . However, he is still a "pistoic primitive"; in his pictures the faces of his characters are distorted "almost like a caricature". This shows that his painting style has not yet reached the elegance and skill of his contemporaries Giotto di Bondone or Duccio di Buoninsegna from these cities.
