Nanni di Banco (c. 1384–1421)

Florentine sculptor. He worked on several of the great civic commissions of 15th-century Florence. He remained independent of Donatello's sculptural innovations, using conservative techniques to create classical imagery. His major work, commissioned for a niche at Orsanmichele, is Quattro Santi Coronati, created in about 1413.

His relief Assumption (1414–21) over the Porta della Mandorla of Florence Cathedral prefigures baroque style. But for an early death, his career might have rivalled Donatello's.
