Pietro di Miniato


Pietro di Miniato or Pietro di San Miniato was an Italian painter, active in Florence and Prato, working in a Gothic style. He collaborated with a relative Antonio di Miniato di Piero, likely his father, active circa 1430 in and around Prato. Among the works attributed to him are a painted crucifix in the St Louis Museum of Art, commissioned between ca. 1400 and 1420 by the Poor Clares, an order of Franciscan nuns, with the Virgin and Saint John the Baptist
a polyptych in the Museo Civico of Prato, a painted mural in the church of San Niccolò in Prato, and a mural in the Chapel of San Stefano of the Prato Cathedral, depicting the Virgin and child flanked by saints. An Annunciation in Santa Maria Novella, Florence, long unattributed, is now identified as the work of Pietro di Miniato.
