Cione, Nardo di

(b Florence, c. 1320; d Florence, after 21 May 1365, before 16 May 1366).

Painter, brother of Andrea di Cione. A number of Florentine documents survive concerning Nardo’s membership of the painters’ guild; other documents mention his changing place of residence in the city, and various commissioned works. . . . Nardo emerges as an artist with a style of his own, a pronounced lyrical vein, a feeling for poetic values, strong human sympathies and great sensitivity to colour as a means of subtle differentiation and soft modelling.
