Симоне Мартини

By 1315, Simone Martini was already making his mark on the civic life of Siena. Around 1324, he was commissioned to paint the Blessed Agostino Novello Altarpiece. By bringing the Sienese style across the mountains, he helped Sienese painting penetrate French territory, allowing his specific aesthetic to take root in new lands.

Where to see In Siena, the Palazzo Pubblico holds the Maestà fresco, a work that has occupied its space since 1315.

Агноло Гадди

Italian Born in Флоренция Gothic, Early Renaissance Wikipedia in 20/32 languages

Агноло Гадди

Taddeo Gaddi, Agnolo's father—Giotto’s most devoted pupil—transmitted this groundbreaking vision to his son, instilling a conviction that art should strive for emotional resonance and narrative clarity. This influence is palpable in Gaddi’s earliest works – notably the triptych now residing in Parma’s Galleria Nazionale—where monumental figures convey profound emotion through expressive gestures and carefully crafted drapery. Agnolo’s formative years were steeped in the shadow of Giotto di Bondone, whose revolutionary frescoes at Assisi and Padua had irrevocably altered artistic conventions.

Jacopo di Cione

Italian Born in Florence Gothic Wikipedia in 7/32 languages

Jacopo di Cione

Jacopo's dedication extended beyond commissions; he actively participated in shaping Florence’s cultural landscape through his involvement with the cathedral workshop and his role as consul of the Arte dei Medici e Speziali (1384, 1387, 1392). His commitment to procuring marble for the cathedral underscored his understanding of artistic grandeur and civic responsibility. The dispersed predella depicting scenes from Saint Peter’s life – a collaborative effort with Niccolò di Pietro Gerini – remains a poignant reminder of Jacopo's artistic legacy and the enduring power of Florentine Gothic art.

Lucas Moser

German Born in Weil der Stadt Late Gothic Art Wikipedia in 10/32 languages

Lucas Moser

Where International Gothic often favored elegant elongation, stylized drapery, and symbolic ornamentation, Moser embraced a more naturalistic approach. The landscape backgrounds, though still somewhat conventional, demonstrate an increasing attention to spatial depth and atmospheric perspective – qualities that foreshadow the developments of Early Netherlandish painting. However, scholars generally agree that he was exposed to both the late Gothic traditions prevalent in Southern Germany and the emerging artistic trends emanating from Flanders.

Master Bertram

German Born in Minden International Gothic Wikipedia in 13/32 languages

Master Bertram

It is believed that Bertram was influenced by both French and Netherlandish artistic trends prevalent during his time. The influence of courtly art from France can be observed in the refined elegance of his figures and decorative elements, while the meticulous detail and realism characteristic of Early Netherlandish painting are evident in his depictions of architectural settings and objects.

Pere Serra

Spanish Gothic-Italian

Pere Serra

Pere Serra, also known as Jaume Serra, stands as a compelling figure in the transition from the International Gothic style to the burgeoning Renaissance aesthetic within Catalonia. While biographical details remain scarce – a common fate for artists working before widespread documentation – Serra’s surviving works speak volumes about his skill, refinement, and the patronage that supported his endeavors. The city was a vibrant hub for trade and artistic exchange, exposed to influences from Italy, France, and Flanders.

Michele Giambono

While the broader Renaissance would eventually move toward the anatomical realism and linear perspective of masters like Bellini, Giambono’s dedication to the International Gothic aesthetic provided the essential foundation of splendor upon which later Venetian art was built.

Jan Baegert

Jan Baegert

He received his formal training under his father, Derick Baegert, a painter who provided the essential technical groundwork for Jan's later career. By 1492, Jan Baegert was recognized as a master in Kalkar, a significant milestone that confirmed his ability to manage large-scale commissions independently.

Where to see Tracing the physical remains of Jan Baegert’s output requires looking toward the Westphalian and Lower Rhine regions.

Despite his anonymity for centuries, the Master of the Osservanza's work has exerted a significant influence on subsequent generations of Italian painters.
