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 certain attribution, the *St. Jerome* from the Fornari collection (1451), the *Crucifix* from the Pier-Santi 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 hall of the Collegiata in Cingoli. He was probably influenced by Piero della Francesca; his art declined when, in his later works, he drew inspiration from Venetian painting.
