GADDI, Gaddo
(b. ca. 1260, Firenze, d. ca. 1333, Firenze)

Virgin with Child Enthroned and Two Saints

1320s
Panel
San Remigio, Florence

Gaddo Gaddi is recorded in the rolls of the Arte dei Medici e Speziali and written about by Giorgio Vasari, a 16th-century biographer of artists, but his oeuvre is largely conjectural. Vasari said that he was associated with Cimabue and Giotto.

This panel was formerly attributed to Cimabue's workshop or to the young Duccio di Buoninsegna. It shows a strong design layout and a particular interpretation of Cimabue's language.
