Tommaso da Modena is remembered for work the next generation could not ignore.
The record lists Tommaso da Modena as Italian painter (1326-1379).
Tommaso da Modena was born at Modena in 1326.
Workshops rather than individuals produced most work in this period, and attribution is often a modern reconstruction.
He worked as painter.
Among his best-known works are Stories of Saint Ursula, Battesimo del principe d'Inghilterra (Stories of Saint Ursula) and Commiato di Orsola dalla madre (Stories of Saint Ursula). A painting outlives the argument about it, which is the only durable form of an artistic reputation.
Tommaso da Modena died in 1379, aged 53. The work remains, hanging in collections that outlived both the artist and the market that first priced it.
