ANTONIO DA FABRIANO (ANTONIO AGOSTINO DI SER GIOVANNI)

ANTONIO da FABRIANO (ANTONIO AGOSTINO di SER GIOVANNI). – Painter; he worked from 1451 to 1489, and perhaps beyond, in his native city, where he left his major works, including, with secure attribution, the St Jerome of the Fornari collection (1451), the Crucifix of the Piersanti Gallery in Matelica (1452), the Triptych and other works in S. Clemente at Genga, the Death of the Virgin in the Pinacoteca of Fabriano, the Polyptych of S. Croce in Sassoferrato, and that of the chapter of the Collegiata in Cingoli. He was probably influenced by Piero della Francesca; his art declined when, in his final works, he took inspiration from Venetian painting.
