Niccolò Semitecolo

Niccolò Semitecolo was a 14th-century Venetian painter (born in Venice) painter of the early-Renaissance period, active mainly in Venice and Padua.

[1] Apart from a number of Madonnas and other religious works, his main work is a rather puzzling and now dispersed set of panels for a polyptych work on the Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian for Padua Cathedral, several panels of which are now in the Diocesan Museum there, with another still in the cathedral.

[2] A large hanging crucifix in the Church of the Eremitani in Padua is attributed to him.

[3] This is next door to the Scrovegni Chapel where Giotto completed his most famous fresco cycle in about 1305.
