Gaddi, Agnolo
Florentine painter, active 1369, died 1396
Agnolo is first mentioned as a painter in 1369, when he assisted his brother Giovanni and Giovanni da Milano in decorations for Urban V (reigned 1362-1370) in the Vatican. He was apparently accepting his own commissions by the 1370s and later took over his brother's shop. The extent of Agnolo's autograph production remain a matter of scholarly debate: There is an undisputed core of monumental works and a large group of paintings varying widely in style and quality that may be better attributed to other artists in his workshop.
