Lorenzo Veneziano

Lorenzo Veneziano was a painter active in Venice, Italy, during the 14th century. Born in 1356, he died at the young age of 36 in 1372. His work is characterized by its delicate lines and vibrant colors, influenced by the Sienese school of painting. His paintings often feature religious themes, such as the Virgin and Child, and are notable for their detailed depictions of the human form. This example displays his use of gold leaf and the Gothic architectural details popular at the time. While his artistic career was tragically short, Veneziano left behind a legacy of beautiful and moving works of art that are admired today.
