 Biography
Ghirlandaio (also spelled Ghirlandaio, original name Domenico di Tommaso Bigordi) was an early Renaissance painter of the Florentine school noted for his detailed narrative frescoes, which include many portraits of leading citizens in contemporary dress.
The earliest works attributed to him, dating from the early 1470s, show strong influence from the frescoes of Andrea del Castagno, who died when Ghirlandaio was about eight years old.
Giorgio Vasari, the biographer of Renaissance artists, recorded in his Lives (1550) that Ghirlandaio was a pupil of the Florentine painter Alesso Baldovinetti, but Baldovinetti was only four or five years older than Ghirlandaio himself.

 The Academy of American Poets - Painter Among Poets: The Collaborative Art of George Schneeman
Upon arriving, Schneeman quickly made the acquaintances of many of the neighborhood’s writers and artists, taking part in the Poetry Project at St. Mark’s Church, and it wasn’t much later that Schneeman began to share his canvases with friends.
Schneeman's interest in collaborative art was sparked while in Italy, where he took note of the work of early-Renaissance painter Giotto di Bondone.
Some of Giotto's paintings are believed to have been done by more artists than Giotto alone, and in Schneeman’s eyes, "the variety of hands makes the painting more interesting." If some of the Italian’s works are "so overpoweringly Giotto," he says, then "the mixed ones are one-of-a-kind because you never get the same mixture again.

Typically, in early Christian and Medieval art, religious figures were depicted in the realm of the spiritual--existing in no specific place or time.

While many artists of the Renaissance were dominated by the artistic giants in the art centers of Italy (Florence, Venice), some actually moved through the major trends of these centers gathering influences and moving beyond to something wholly unique.
Due to his early training in Padua and Venice where symbolism was an expected part of the painter’s vocabulary, Crivelli uses his art in this fashion naturally.

Early Italian Renaissance painter (full name: Domenico di Bartolomeo da Venezia), one of the founders of the 15th-century Florentine school of painting.
We know very little about the life and work of this painter; and even Vasari knew very little, so that he filled his biography of Domenico with complicated theories and colourful anecdotes.
Vasari not only recounts the invented story of Domenico being murdered by Andrea del Castagno (actually Andrea died before Domenico), but also praises Veneziano as the artist who first introduced oil painting to Tuscany.

 PoetryFoundation.org: Hearing Voices at the Met
But while walking through the Metropolitan’s exhibition in New York last fall of the work of the early Renaissance painter Fra Angelico, I kept hearing Robert Browning’s voice, or rather the various voices he invented for his dramatic monologues spoken by Renaissance painters.
Angelico’s pictures, early and late—altarpieces, private meditative images, the ethereal frescos decorating corridors and cells in the convent of San Marco in Florence—were made as devotional objects meant to induce contemplation on sacred persons and events.
Bartolomeo, who resisted the naturalistic advances of painters like Lippi—Vasari says he was “of a timid and rather cowardly disposition”—is the speaker of one of Browning’s most psychologically gnarled poems, “Pictor Ignotus.” A dramatic monologue can disclose ugly truths the speaker is unaware of.
