Bernardo Daddi 1290–1348

Talijac b. Firenca Rana renesancija Wikipedia 17/32

Bernardo Daddi, rođen u Firenci oko 1290. godine i preminut 1348., predstavlja ključnu figuru u prijelazu s kasne gotike na bujanje talijanske renesanse. Točan datum Daddijevog rođenja ostaje obavijen misterijom, iako zapisi ukazuju na to da se prvi put spominje 1312. godine. Široko je vjerovanje da je njegovo umjetničko putovanje počelo pod mentorstvom Giotta di Bondone, jednog od najutjecajnijih umjetnika tog doba.

Andrea Pisano 1290–1348

Talijana b. Pontecorvo Gotika

Rođen u Pontecorvu, u regiji Lazio, Pisanoov rani život ostaje obavijen djelom misterije, iako je svoje vještine prvobitan usavršavao kao zlatar prije nego što se oko 1300. godine u cijelosti posvetio kiparstvu pod pokroviteljstvom Minoa di Giovannija. Rana karijera i vrata krstionice u Pisi: Pisanova prvobitna slava proizašla je iz njegovog suradničkog rada na ambicioznoj fasadi krstionice katedrale u Pisi, alongside Giovannija di Balduccia.

Master Mateo 1161–1217

Spanish Romanesque Sculpture

Nizozemski (Dutch) b. Nijmegen Internacionalna gotika Wikipedia 16/32

Tilman Riemenschneider 1460–1531

Njemački b. Heiligenstadt Kasnogotički i renesansni stil

Rođen oko 1460. godine u Heiligenstadtu im Eichsfeldu, njegov je život tekao u pozadini političkih previranja i umjetničkih transformacija. Rani su mu årili bili obilježeni preseljenjem; očeva uključenost u sukob Mainzer Stiftsfehde prisilila je obitelj na selidbu u Osterode, što je vjerojatno mladom Tilmanu ugradilo osjećaj otpornosti i prilagodljivosti – kvaliteta koje će definirati i njegov život i njegovu umjetnost.

16/ 34

Nizozemski b. Donja Rajna Gotički renesans Wikipedia 14/32

Nizozemski b. Haarlem Sjeverni realizam

Claus Sluter (oko 1350. – 1406.) stoji kao jedan od najutjecnijih kiparskih maestara svoje ere, označavajući ključnu prekretnicu između gotičke i renesansne umjetničke tradicije u Sjevernoj Europi. Upis njegovog imena u registar briselskih klesara oko 1379./1380. godine potvrđuje njegov profesionalni angažman i naglašava važnost vrhunskog zanatstva unutar srednjovjekovnog umjetničkog svijeta.

Italian b. Florence Gothic Wikipedia 7/32

Jaume Huguet 1445–1492

Catalan b. Valls Late Gothic, Flemish influence Wikipedia 10/32

Between 1440 and 1445, his hand reached into the workshops of Zaragoza and Tarragona, where he encountered the influential Flemish style brought by Luis Dalmau. His ability to command both scale and detail is evident in his diverse body of work: The Archangel St Michael: A celestial sentinel rendered with heroic posture, framed by stylized foliage and a radiant, textured gold leaf that seems to emanate an inner light.

Lucas Moser 1390–1443

German b. Weil der Stadt Late Gothic Art Wikipedia 10/32

Master Bertram 1345–1415

German b. Minden International Gothic Wikipedia 13/32

While sharing similarities with other artists of the period, such as Master Francke (another prominent Hamburg painter), Bertram's work possesses a distinct character—a subtle restraint in emotional expression compared to Francke’s more overtly dramatic approach. The Victoria and Albert Museum in London houses a 45-scene depiction of the Apocalypse, likely created by Bertram's workshop, further demonstrating his influence within the artistic community.

Paolo Di Giovanni Fei 1345–1411

Talijana b. San Quirico d'Orcia Naturalizam, Proto-renesansa Wikipedia 10/32

Njegov život, iako tragično kratak, svjedočio je dramatičnoj promjeni umjetničkih osjećaja u Sijeni, vođen prvenstveno njegovom suradnjom s mlađim bratom, Ambrogiom Lorenzettijem, te njihovim susretom s inovativnim tehnikama Giotta i Giovannija Pisana. Lorenzettijev rani rad donekle je obavijen misterijom, no dokazi sugeriraju da je svoje formativne godine proveo radeći uz Simone Martini u Assisiju. Presudno je bilo njegovo vrijeme u Firenci tijekom 1ms20-ih i 1330-ih godina koje se pokazalo transformativnim.

Giovannino De' Grassi 1350–1398

Italian b. Milan Gothic Illuminations

Giovannino de’ Grassi remains one of the most captivating enigmas of the late medieval period, a figure whose brushstrokes breathed life into the prestigious Visconti court of Milan.

Catalan b. Girona International Gothic Wikipedia 8/32

A pioneer who fundamentally reshaped the visual language of Catalonia, Borrassà emerged from the historic streets of Girona to become a master of the International Gothic style.

Michele Giambono 1400–1462

Italian b. Venice International Gothic Wikipedia 10/32

As a follower of luminaries such as Jacobello del Fiore and Gentile da Fabriano, Giambono inherited a fascination with delicate line work and the use of precious materials to evoke the celestial realm.

Italian b. Firenca Late Gothic/Renaissance Wikipedia 7/32

Czech b. Italija Gothic Wikipedia 16/32

Njegov je rad bio najintenzivniji između otprilike 1360. i 1380. godine, u razdoblju kada je njegova prisutnost na bohemijskom dvoru bila detaljno dokumentirana. Između 1359. i 1367. godine, Teodorik Iz Prage djelovao je kao vodeći dvorski slikar u Pragu i u dvorcu Karlštejn.

Talijana b. Firenca Kasnogotički stil Wikipedia 6/32

Rođen oko 1368. u Firenci i preminuvši oko 1415. godine, Gerinijeva je karijera odvijala se u pozadini umjetničkog fervora, gdje su tradicija i eksperiment plesali u delikatnoj ravnoteži. Njegov otac, Pietro Geri, bio je član esudencije Svetog Luke, što sugerira odgoj duboko prožet umjetničkom praksom—obiteljsko naslijeđe koje će nastaviti Niccolòov sin, Bindo, koji je također postao slikar.

Pacino Di Bonaguida 1280–1340

Talijac b. Firenca Gotički stil Wikipedia 4/32

Aktivno djelujući prvenstveno u Firenci između otprilike 1303. i 1347. godine, Pacinov život ostaje obavijen misterijom—što je bila uobičajena sudbina mnogim umjetnicima tog doba. Prvi put se pojavljuje u zapisima 1303. godine prilikom raskida partnerstva s Tambom di Serragliom, opisan tada kao ‘publicus artifex in arte pictorum’ – javni umjetnik u umjetnosti slikarstva.
