Angelo of Assisi and Saint Francis

ANGELO DI PIETRO D'ASSISI E FRANCESCO

Italian original Cite

ANGELO OF ASSISI AND SAINT FRANCIS. - Biographical information is lacking for these two sculptors, who were trained within the sphere of the Sienese school, as is evident from the only work securely attributed to them, the Sepulchre of St. Margaret at Cortona, which is regarded as one of the masterpieces of Sienese Gothic sculpture. The attributions are doubtful of the tomb of Bishop Ranieri Ubertoni in S. Francesco at Cortona, of much lesser value than the former, and of three statues on the portal of the Palazzo Pubblico at Perugia.
