Life

Bartolo developed an extensive activity as a fresco painter in churches, chapels, town halls in Pisa, Perugia and Siena. His main works are a cycle of depictions from the life of Mary in San Francesco in Pisa and repeated in the chapel of the town house in Siena (1407). His coloring is hard but strong, his conception seeks energy and grandeur of expression.

His nephew or brother Domenico di Bartolo (* around 1400) followed his direction, but is fleeting, even mindless, realistic in conception and raw in technique. In 1444 he painted in the Ospedale della Scala in Siena.
