1406-1469. Italian painter, born in Florence
and patronized by the Medici family. His
works include frescoes depicting the lives of
St Stephen and St John the Baptist in Prato
Cathedral 1452-66. He also painted many
altarpieces of Madonnas and groups of saints.
The painter and biographer Giorgio Vasari
gave a colourful account of his life
including how, as a monk, he was tried in the
1450s for abducting a nun (the mother of his
son Filippino).
