Description:
Giovanni da Milano is the most significant Lombard painter of the 14th century and arguably the most important painter active in Florence in the second half of the 14th century. He originally came from a small town near Como, moved first to Milan and then to Florence, where he painted the Rinuccini Chapel in the sacristy of the Basilica of Santa Croce and the extraordinary Pietà now at the Galleria dell’Accademia. The Brera panel was painted as the centerpiece of an altar for an unknown church around 1360. (Source: Brera Pinacoteca [website]; http://pinacotecabre ra.org/en/)
