NICCOLÒ DI PIETRO
(known 1394-1440 in Venice)

Biography

Italian painter. His father, Pietro (fl 1365–89), and grandfather Niccolò (fl 1365) were both painters. Niccolò appears to have been an independent master by 1394, when he signed a panel depicting the Virgin and Child Enthroned (Venice, Accademia). In 1404 he signed and dated a Crucifix (Verucchio, SS Martino e Francesco), and between 1414 and 1416 he executed a processional banner (untraced) for the Scuola Grande della Misericordia in Venice. He is last documented on 4 October 1430.
