Bartolommeo (b Perugia, c. 1420; d Perugia, c. 1505) |
| Painter. He seems to have been working as a painter in Perugia by 1442 but is first documented on 24 December 1454, when he received payment for a Pietà and a Maestà (both untraced) executed for the shoemakers’ guild in Perugia. In 1457–8 he was treasurer of the painters’ guild, and in 1462 he was elected a civic prior for March and April. On 6 May 1467 he received payment, in Rome, for gilding the ceiling of S Marco. On 18 July of the same year he and Benedetto Bonfigli were paid by the merchant Lancillotto di Ludovico to execute a panel for the chapel of S Vincenzo in S Domenico, Perugia (untraced; unconvincingly associated with a reconstructed polyptych, Perugia, G.N. Umbria), and on 14 July the following year they received the balance due for their finished work. |
