Bastiano Mainardi

Bastiano di Bartolo Mainardi (1466–1513) was an Italian painter of the Early Renaissance.

[1] Vasari also claimed that Mainardi took part in Ghirlandaio's frescoes (1476) in the Abbey of Passignano in Val di Pesa, near Florence, and in the chapel of Saint Fina in the Collegiata of San Gimginano (1485).

The Annunciation fresco in the loggia of San Gimignano's Collegiata, dated 1482, is often also attributed to Mainardi.

One of his latest works, an altarpiece of the Madonna and Child with Saints, commissioned in 1511 for the church of Sant'Agostino in San Gimignano (where it remains today), was completed after his death in 1513 by Domenico Ghirlandaio's son, Ridolfo.
