Francesco d'Antonio


Francesco d'Antonio or d'Antonio di Bartolomeo was an Italian painter of the Renaissance, mainly active in Florence. He is likely the same Francesco Fiorentino that Giorgio Vasari in his biographies states was a follower of Lorenzo Monaco. In 1429 Francesco joined the painters' guild in Florence. A triptych signed attributed to Francesco is found in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. A painted depiction of the Virgin and Child with Six Angels and Two Cherubim on a gilded background found at the National Gallery, London. A panel titled Madonna and Child with Swallow attributed to the artist is found in the collection of the Denver Art Museum.
