Domenico Veneziano worked at a period when the terms of art itself were being renegotiated.
The record lists Domenico Veneziano as Italian Renaissance painter (1410-1461).
Domenico Veneziano was born at Venice in 1410. His recorded nationality is Italy.
This was the period in which the artist became an individual with a signature, a reputation and a price.
He worked as painter.
Among his best-known works are Santa Lucia de' Magnoli Altarpiece, Adoration of the Magi and Madonna and Child. An artist's reputation moves with taste, but the work stays exactly where it was left.
That the work was made in Italy shaped it: artistic traditions, academies and the galleries that decide what is seen have never been evenly distributed.
Domenico Veneziano died in 1461, aged 51. The work remains, hanging in collections that outlived both the artist and the market that first priced it.
