of the Florentines. In 1333 Pietro painted a Madonna above the portal of the Siena Duomo, which Luca di Thomé afterwards restored, and in 1335 an altarpiece for the Duomo. In the same year he executed in company with his brother a now destroyed masterpiece—the Marriage of the Virgin, on the front of the Hospital of Siena—which is highly eulogized by Vasari, who says it was in the manner of Giotto. In 1340 Pietro finished for S. Francesco of Pistoja a picture supposed to be that now in the Uffizi, Florence, and two years later painted the Nativity of the Virgin, in the Sacristy of the Duomo, Siena. His altarpiece in the parish church of Arezzo, which is in better preservation though inferior to Giotto, is a more powerful and able work, both in conception and execution, than any produced by his pupils. Other remarkable works by Pietro are the frescos of the Crucifixion, the Passion, and St. Francis receiving the Stigmata, in the lower church of S. Francesco at Assisi, assigned by Vasari to Pietro Cavallini, and those in the Campo Santo, Pisa, representing the life of the hermits in the desert of the Thebaid.—C. & C., Italy, ii. 117; Vasari, ed.

LORENZO MONACO, Don, born near
end of 14th century, died aged fifty-five.
Florentine school; a Camaldolensian monk
in Florence. His style as a painter is that
of a disciple of Agnolo Gaddi, but while he
shows more religious sentiment than his
master, as a draughtsman he is no better.
In general tone his work is soft and transparent
like that of a miniature painter, and
his flesh tints are carefully fused. The only
picture bearing his name is a Coronation of
the Virgin, dated 1413, formerly in the abbey
of his order at Ceretto, and now in the
Uffizi, Florence. Its peculiarities enable us
