Neri di Bicci (Florence 1418 – 1492) and workshop
Madonna and Child with two angels, Tempera and gold on panel, 66,6 x 55,6 cm, framed
Provenance:
European private collection
Neri di Bicci was the son of Bicci di Lorenzo. He was the last artist member of the family, whose workshop can be traced back to his grandfather Lorenzo di Bicci. Under Neri’s direction, the workshop was extremely successful and catered to a wide variety of patrons. The details of its activity, including the names of the many pupils and assistants that passed through it, are recorded between 1453 and 1475 in the workshop diary, the Ricordanze, the most extensive surviving document relating to a 15th-century painter. We are grateful to Professor Filippo Todini for suggesting the attribution.
