Vincenzo Tamagni

Vincenzo di Benedetto di Chele Tamagni ( born April 10, 1492 San Gimignano; † ibid 1530, also Vincenzo da San Gimignano or Vincenzo Tamagni ) was an Italian painter.

Gimignano worked from 1510 to 1512 in Montalcino and then went to Rome, where he became an assistant of Raphael and worked for them in the loggias of the Vatican. After Raphael's death he painted in his hometown, a Madonna with Saints for San Girolamo and the Birth of the Virgin of Sant'Agostino.

Then he returned to Rome, where, however, the looting of the city ( 1527) drove him back. He went to San Gimignano and there painted in the refectory of Santa Caterina, the wedding of the St.. Catherine and for Sant'Agostino a Madonna with Angels and Saints ( Pestaltar ) and a Holy Cross altar. In the State Museums of Berlin ( Gemäldegalerie ) they Predellentafel is attributed. He died after 1530 in San Gimignano. Giorgio Vasari dedicated to him a biography ( 1550/1568 ).
