Domenico di Zanobi

Domenico di Zanobi, formerly known as the Master of the Johnson Nativity, was an Italian Renaissance painter.

[3] In 1996, the Florentine scholar Annamaria Bernacchioni identified this artist as Domenico di Zanobi, a documented assistant of Filippo Lippi in Florence and Prato, based on her discovery of the carpenter's bill for the Coronation of the Virgin at the Museo della Misericordia in San Miniato.

[4] This painting, attributed by Fahy to the Master of the Johnson Nativity, was reportedly commissioned by the Chellini family in 1476 from a painter named "Domenico."

Aside from the influence of his teacher, Domenico's art evolved through contact with Andrea del Castagno, Alesso Baldovinetti, and Sandro Botticelli.

[6] He painted primarily religious subjects, including altarpieces and many small panels for private devotion.
