A Florentine painter of the early Renaissance. His real name was Benozzo di Lese, and he was born near Florence. He began his career as a goldsmith, and assisted Ghiberti on the bronze gates of the Baptistery at Florence. A pupil of Fra Angelico, he assisted him in the painting of the vault in the Chapel of the Madonna di San Brizio, in the cathedral at Orvieto. in 1447 : the follow- ing tno years he was at Rome, and from 1450 to 1452 at Jlontefalco. Pei'haps the greatest monument to his style is in the frescoes, executed in 1459, in the private chapel of the Riccardi Palace, Florence. The subject of the paintings is the ".Story of the Jlagi," which is interpreted "with a true love for the pageant of the fifteenth tentury. It is executed with the cliarm of a miniature on a large scale, and a decorative quality rarely equaled in the same century. From 1464 to 1467 he painted an important series from the life of Saint Augustine, in the Church of San Agostino at San Gimignano. The series of twenty-two frescoes on the wall of the Campo Santo, Pisa, is a testimony to his ver.sa- tility in the interpretation of scenes from the history of the Old Testament, beginning with the "Life of Xoah," and ending with the "Visit of the Queen of Slieba to Solomon." The Pisans .showed their appreciation of this great work by presenting him with a sarcophagus, in which he was interred on his death at Pisa, in 149S. His color was light in tones; his technique smooth in quality; his subjects were interpreted with a religious feeling and poetic naturalness, each detail being painted with a goldsmith's love for the decorative quality. His story-telling quality is his greatest achievement, revealing his varied interests as a portrait painter, landscape painter, animal painte'r. costumer, architect, and decorator. His easel pictures arc rare. The best known are two "Madonnas with Four Saints." in the Gallery of Perugia, and in the National Galleiy, London; and the "Apotheosis of Saint Thomas Aquinas," in the Louvre.
