Giovanni del Biondo

[1] From tax records, it is known that Giovanni del Biondo lived and flourished in Florence, where he died in 1399.

Nearly all of Biondo's paintings depict religious subjects and were originally part of large-scale polyptych altarpieces.

[1] His earliest works are simple compositions with bright colors and typically lack dimensional depth.

[1] The idiosyncrasies of his style include the wayward proportions, sharp, spiky features and a strong sense of design.

Another Dei Biondo painting, Madonna with God and the Father, is housed at the Memorial Art Gallery at the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York.The Detroit Institute of Art has two paintings by this Late Gothic Period Italian Painter,"Virgin Annunciate"and Archangel Annunciate".
