Lippo Vanni
Lippo Vanni (also Lippo Vanni di Giovanni, * 1315, probably in Siena; † after 1375 ) was an Italian painter and illuminator of the Sienese school. He was from 1341 to 1375 active as a painter and was documented at this time.
Life
Besides his work as a painter, he was also active as a politician in the Colonial city of Siena and the Riformatori. It was 1360 and in 1373 elected to the Grand Council. In 1344 he is listed in writing on the book of the Hospice of Santa Maria della Scala, to decorate hymnals. Until 1360 book paintings remained his main activity, then he turned and paintings and frescoes. This he learned probably in Niccolò di Ser Sozzo (including Niccolò di Ser Sozzo Tegliaccio, * in Siena, † 1363 ibid.). His main works include the frescoes originating almost exclusively from his works in the Church of San Leonardo al Lago at Monteriggioni, the other originating from Baldassare Peruzzi, the architect of the building. In addition, he painted the frescoes in the cloister of the Basilica di San Domenico in Siena, together with Lippo Memmi.
