	Andrea Tafi (artist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Andrea Tafi (active 1300-1325) was an Italian artist.
		Tafi is shown in Frederic Leighton's Cimabue's Celebrated Madonna (1853-5); the subject matter of this painting is based on Giorgio Vasari's account of how the Rucellai Madonna was carried from Cimabue's home to the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence.
		Vasari includes a biography of Andrea Tafi in his Lives; the biography includes a tale of how Buonamico di Cristofano stopped Tafi from rising so early by pretending to be a demon.

	Mosaic - LoveToKnow Watches
		Though at first the simple and archaic style of Cimabue and his pupils Jacopo da Turrita, Giotto, and Taddeo Gaddi was equally applicable to painting or mosaic, yet soon the development of art into greater realism and complexity required a method of expression unfettered by the necessities and canons of mosaic work.
		The gorgeous mosaics of S. Sophia and S. Saviour's in Constantinople, 6th century, and the later ones in the monasteries of Mount Athos, at Salonica and at Daphne near Athens, are identical in style with those of Italy of the same date.
		The Guards' chapel in St James's is adorned likewise by the same artist, under the direction of the late Sir Arthur Blomfield.

	Mosaics
		It was the age of the artisan and hardly that of the artist.
		Vasari mentions that the decoration was entrusted to Andrea Tafi (1213-1294), who, embarrassed with the technique, went to Venice to engage the services of some of the Greek mosaicists who were then decorating St. Mark's, and succeeding in securing the services of a Greek named Apollonius, he brought him to Florence.
		Cavallini was an artist of great power ; he practised as a mosaicist, fresco painter, and sculptor, and recent research tends to show he was a more important artist than Vasari, or Crowe and Cavalcaselle state of him in their notices of his life and work.

		This artist laid the foundation of a very large fortune, which continued increasing, and placed his progeny in a highly distinguished worldly position.
		TADDEO GADDI (about 1300-1366, or later), son of Gaddo, was born in Florence, and is usually said to have been one of Giotto's most industrious assistants for a period of 24 years.
		In the subject of the "Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple " are the two heads traditionally accepted as portraits of Gaddo Gaddi and Andrea Tafi; they, at any rate, are not likely to be portraits of those artists from the life.

		In Florence the mosaics of the baptistery commenced in 1225 by Jacobus, a Franciscan, were continued at the end of the century by Andrea Tafi, Gaddo Gaddi, Apollonio, and afterwards by Agnolo Gaddi.
		He was the most celebrated Roman artist of his time and his designs, while adhering more to the Byzantine than those of Giotto did, show a tendency that may be called Gothic development.
		Mosaic was, however, being rapidly superseded by fresco, which as a primary art giving the sentiment and character of the artists immediately, was of course much more esteemed by persons of discrimination than a mere copy in tesserae, or slabs of opaque glass.

		Thomas refused to believe the tale on his return, but when the grave was opened, he found it empty; and the Virgin, pitying the weakness of his faith, let down her girdle to him from heaven to remove all further doubt.
		The altar-piece of this chapel is a very remarkable and authentic picture by Giotto, probably painted between 1299 and 1303, on the return of the artist from a visit to Rome, and before his departure for Padua.
		To the left of the entrance is a fine head of Christ in Robbia ware; and near this is a delicately carved lavabo, with St. Francis on the pediment; above is a painting of the Saviour.

	Florence - San Miniato Al Monte
		The glass in the windows of San Salvador is perfectly genuine work ; the most beautiful one is that in the nave, near the western entrance, representing St. John the Evangelist ; and the window in the choir, St. Francis in the act of receiving the Stigmata.
		The attractive situation of San Miniato induced Bishop Andrea de' Mozzi, in the year 1294, to build at his own ex-pense the palace with its machicolated walls beside the church ; he intended it for an agreeable country residence for himself and future Florentine bishops, whenever they desired to retire from the city.
		This pulpit was executed by an artist of the name of Alberti, mentioned by Francesco Sacchetti in his ' Tales,' who appears to have worked in this Basilica towards the end of the fourteenth century, together with Andrea Orcagna and Taddeo Gaddi.

		They are not in themselves of much interest, although the sacristan’s eagerness should not be discouraged; but Buffalmacco being Boccaccio’s, Sacchetti’s, Vasari’s (and, later, Anatole France’s) amusing hero, it is pleasant to look at his work and think of his freakishness.
		Buffalmacco (if he ever existed) was one of the earlier painters, flourishing between 1311 and 1350, and was a pupil of Andrea Tafi.
		Tafi was terrified, but on being told by Buffalmacco (who was a lazy rascal) that these devils were merely showing their objection to early rising, he became calm again, and agreed to lie in bed to a reasonable hour.
