A rude follower of the By- zantine school, classed with Giunta Pisano and other painters of crucifixes, portraits of St. Francis, etc., of a repulsive type. The Church of S. Francesco, Arezzo, contains a St. Francis and a Madonna by him, and the National Gallery, London, a Madonna with symbols of the Evangelists, coloured like playing-cards. Crucifixes attributed to him are in the chapel of the Sacristy, S. Croce, Florence, and in S. Francesco, Castiglione, Aretino.
