|
Giovanni del Biondo may have trained in the workshop of Andrea and Nardo di Cione where he also worked at the start of his career. In his later paintings he created a greater sense of depth but his figures became more formalized and hardened. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)
