Bernardo Daddi

Bernardo Daddi was an Italian painter active during the early Renaissance, born around 1280 and passing away in 1348. He is known for his contributions to the development of Florentine painting, particularly through his use of color and light. Daddi's work often featured religious themes, and he was influenced by the earlier Gothic style while also paving the way for the more naturalistic approaches of later Renaissance artists. His most notable works include altarpieces and panel paintings, which reflect a blend of Byzantine and emerging Renaissance aesthetics. Daddi's impact on the art world is recognized for bridging the gap between medieval and Renaissance art in Italy. Specific details about his early life and training remain unknown.
