Ugolino di Nerio

– 1349) was an Italian painter active in his native city of Siena and in Florence between the years 1317 and 1327.

[2] It was reassembled in the friars' dormitory where it remained until, at some time around the beginning of the 19th century,[3] it was broken up and the surviving parts sold to William Young Ottley, an English collector.

Evidence of di Nerio’s fondness for painting pious subject matter can be seen in his iconic depictions of Mary Magdalene and Louis of Toulouse, which were both executed in 1328.

The altarpiece for Santa Croce was the most important commission in a series of works that the Franciscans entrusted to him.

His best-known Madonna is in the Chiesa della Misericordia, San Casciano in Val di Pesa; there is another in the Louvre.
