Marco Berlinghieri

Berlinghieri Marco, Marco di Lucca or Berlinghiero as Marco da Lucca ( detectable from 1232 to 1255 in Lucca), was an Italian painter and miniaturist.

Marco Berlinghieri was a son of Berlinghiero Berlinghieri, of which he was also trained. He was obviously works mainly as a miniature painter. Since it is not mentioned in the document of 1228 where his father and his two brothers Bonaventure and barons have sworn peace with Pisa for the municipality of Lucca, it is believed that he was the youngest of the brothers, and at the time still was young in order to obtain civil rights.

According to today's view it is probably the identify Marcus Pictor, the most decorated 1240 befindliches today in the British Library in London Missal ( Egerton 3606 ) for the monastery at Camaldoli Fontebuona. In 1250 he is said to have drawn the decoration for a Bible for the chief of San Martino in Lucca, which today is located in Lucca. In addition, he is also identified with that Pictor de Luca Marcus, who has been paid for a 1255 painting of the chapel in the Palazzo Del Podestà in Bologna, of which nothing has received. In addition, a fresco of the Massacre of Children Modes in San Sepolcro, he is credited in Bologna.

Stylistically, he is his brother Bonaventure closer than his father.
