 Biography
With Gentile da Fabriano, Pisanello is regarded as the foremost exponent of the International Gothic style in Italian painting, but most of his major works have perished, including frescoes in Venice (in which he collaborated with Gentile) and in Rome (in which he completed work left unfinished by Gentile at his death).
His surviving documented frescoes are The Annunciation (S. Fermo, Verona, 1423-4) and St George and the Princess of Trebizond (Sta Anastasia, Verona, 1437-38), and attributed to him are some fragments of murals of jousting knights in the Palazzo Ducale in Mantua, uncovered in 1968 and one of the most spectacular art discoveries of the period.
Pisanello was also the greatest portrait medallist of his period and arguably of the whole Renaissance, his work setting standards of delicacy, precision, and clarity that have not been surpassed.
