Biography of Bernardo Daddi



Bernardo Daddi (d. 1348) was an early Italian renaissance painter. He is thought to be historically important because he might have introduced the Seinese style of painting into the scientific school of Florence. Through his student, Allegretto Nuzi, Daddi also helped to spread the Sienese tradition into Umbria.

Daddi was married and had three sons. At the time of his death in 1348, two of the children were placed under the care of a guardian. Daddi, rather than attempt the monumental paintings so in fashion at the time, primarily created small alterpieces and triptychs which many consider true masterpieces.
