# GADDI, Agnolo [View the canonical artist record]() ## Artist - Lifespan: 1350–1396 - Profession: painter - School: Italian ## Biography Florentine painter, the son of Taddeo Gaddi. He continued the Giotto tradition but modified it still further in the direction of decorative elegance. He is particularly notable for his cool pale colours, which infiuenced the refined late Gothic art of artists of the next generation such as Lorenzo Monaco. Agnolo's works include frescos on The Story of the Cross in the chancel of Sta Croce \(after 1374\) and on The Story of the Virgin and her Girdle in the Chapel of the Holy Girdle in Prato Cathedral \(1392-5\). Many panel paintings also are attributed to Agnolo. ## Related artworks - [Chancel chapels seen from the west]() - [Coronation of the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Coronation of the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Coronation of the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Coronation of the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Coronation of the Virgin]() - [Crucifixion]() - [Dream of Emperor Heraclius]() - [Emperor Heraclius Beheads Chosroës and Enters Jerusalem with the True Cross]() - [Emperor Heraclius Beheads Chosroës and Enters Jerusalem with the True Cross]() - [Emperor Heraclius Enters Jerusalem with the True Cross]() - [Emperor Heraclius Enters Jerusalem with the True Cross]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
