Spinello Aretino

Spinello Aretino (c. 1346 in Arezzo, ibid † March 14, 1410; actually Spinello di Luca Spinelli ) was an Italian painter. He is considered a master of the Tuscan late Gothic painting.

Life

Spinello was a student of Agnolo Gaddi and was under the influence of Orcagna and Nardo di Cione. From 1361 to 1384 he worked mainly in his native city, around 1370, he worked an Annunciation scene on the outside wall of the Church of the Santissima Annunziata. Around 1385 he created the first time frescoes for the church of San Domenico, also in Arezzo. In 1387 he completed a fresco cycle of sixteen scenes of the life of Saint Benedict in the sacristy of San Miniato al Monte in Florence. Then he painted frescoes in the Campo Santo in Pisa ( 1391-92 ). In 1400 he was back in Florence, where he painted scenes from the life of St. Philip and St. James in the church of Santa Croce, next to another fresco in San Domenico in Arezzo. His last works he created in the Palazzo Pubblico in Siena ( 1408-10 ). Spinello took details of Giotto di Bondone, one of the most faithful preserver of Giotto's tradition, and even more so of contemporary Sienese masters. He was a fast -working and narrative masterpiece.
