Giovanni di Piamonte

The date and place of his birth are not known, but his name indicates that he was born in Piamonte near the present-day town of Pontassieve in Tuscany.

[2] An early painting dated 1456 is an altarpiece entitled Madonna Enthroned and Saints found in Santa Maria delle Grazie, Città di Castello; it is the only work known with certainty to be from his hand.

[1][4] A later work of 1471, Sant'Anna Metterza (Staatliche Museen, Berlin), is attributed to Giovanni by art historian Luciano Bellosi.

In contrast to the early Madonna, this mature painting reveals a close knowledge of Piero's work and a mastery of perspective.

[5] Bellosi also attributes to him the frescoes on the interior walls and vault of the Rucellai Sepulchre, in a chapel of the church of San Pancrazio in Florence.
