Pietro di Niccolò Duia

Pietro di Niccolò Duia (traceable from 1520 to 1529 in Venice ) was an Italian painter .

Pietro di Niccolò Duia was a moderately talented Venetian painter who succeeded Giovanni Bellini , whose works show a clear influence by Vincenzo Catena . Origin and career are unknown. Assumptions that he was related to one of the two Matteo Duia, also documented in Venice, cannot be substantiated.

It is first mentioned in 1520 when he and Antonio da Treviso examined a mosaic by Vincenzo dal Mosaico . For the years 1525 and 1529 he is named as a decorator of ballot boxes.

To this day, two signed works can be ascribed to him with certainty. Based on these, modern art studies assign him further works. Most of them are images of the Madonna.
