Niccolò di Pietro Gerini

Niccolò di Pietro Gerini was an Italian painter active during the late 14th and early 15th centuries, approximately from 1340 to 1414. He was a prominent figure in the Florentine School and contributed significantly to the Gothic art movement. Gerini is known for his frescoes and altarpieces, which often depicted religious themes with a distinctive use of color and composition. His collaborations with other artists, such as Taddeo Gaddi and Jacopo di Cione, were instrumental in the development of Florentine painting during this period. Gerini's work is characterized by its narrative clarity and attention to detail, influencing subsequent generations of artists in the region. His contributions are evident in several important ecclesiastical commissions, including works in the churches of Florence and Prato.
