This was the period in which the artist became an individual with a signature, a reputation and a price.
He worked as painter.
His recorded movement is italian renaissance.
Among his best-known works are Tornabuoni Chapel, Sassetti Chapel and Altarpiece of San Vincenzo Ferrer. Looking is a skill, and the artists who last are those who taught their audience how to do it.
That the work was made in Republic of Florence shaped it: artistic traditions, academies and the galleries that decide what is seen have never been evenly distributed.
