# FRANCESCO DI GABRIELE DA VITERBO [View the canonical artist record]() ## Artist - Profession: painter - School: Italian ## Biography Italian painter, active in Viterbo at the turn of the 15th century. It is assumed that he was the grandson of Francesco d'Antonio Zacchi, called Balletta \(active by 1430-died before 1476\) and the son of Gabriele di Francesco. Balletta was a rather significant artist in Viterbo and a number of panels and polyptychs by him have survived in and around the city. His son Gabriele di Francesco was less prolific but a small number of works are securely attributable to him. Stylistically Francesco di Gabriele betrays a variety of other artistic influences to which a Viterbese artist would naturally have been susceptible. In addition to local artists elements of neighbouring Tuscan, Umbrian and Roman painters of the period can be found. ## Related artworks - [Madonna and Child Enthroned with Saints]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
