PIETRO CAVALLINI
       

Pietro Cavallini (1259 - 1330) was an Italian painter and mosaic designer working during the Renaissance. His work is believed to have influenced that of Giotto, whose Last Judgement in the Arena Chapel at Padua bears a striking similarity to Cavallini’s. His pupils included Giovanni di Bartolommeo.

       

His works include:
  Jael and Tisseran (date unknown), watercolour
  Life of the Virgin (1291), mosaic at Basilica di Santa Maria in Trastevere in Rome, which includes:
  Annunciation
  The Birth of Jesus
  Nativity of the Virgin
