Veneziano was an early Renaissance painter who worked in Perugia,
Tuscany and Florence. His masterpiece painting, called The Saint Lucia
dei Magnoli Altarpiece, or Saint Lucy Altarpiece, now hangs in the
Uffizi Gallery. It was originally painted for the Church of Santa Lucia
dei Magnoli in Florence, of which the center panel, Virgin and Child
with four saints is what survives at the Uffizi. Other pieces from the
predella panels of the painting, including Saint John in the Desert,
have toured other institutions such as the National Gallery of Art in
Washington D.C., also in Cambridge and Berlin. There are two early Domenico Veneziano paintings that are of his few surviving piece, though badly damaged. One is a fresco, Virgin and Child enthroned, the other is a work of two heads of saints which were from the Carnesecchi Tabernacle in Florence. Within these pieces is a noted influence of one of Italy’s first renowned Renaissance painters, Masaccio (1401 – 1427). There is also an influence from the Florentine painter, Benozzo Gozzoli (1421 – 1497) in Domenico Veneziano paintings. | |||||||
