Domenico Veneziano

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.06 sec.

Domenico Veneziano (c. 1400-1461)

Italian painter. He was active in Florence. His few surviving frescoes and altarpieces show a remarkably subtle use of colour and light (which recurs in the work of Piero della Francesca, who worked with him).

He worked in Sta Egidio, Florence, on frescoes now lost. Remaining works include the Carnesecchi Madonna and Two Saints (National Gallery, London) and the St Lucy Altarpiece, now divided between Florence (Uffizi), Berlin (Staatliche Museen), Cambridge (Fitzwilliam), and Washington, DC (National Gallery).
