Sassetta
1392–1450
Sassetta was an Early Renaissance painter. 14 works are cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art, most of them tempera paintings. Sassetta was born in Siena.
Stefano di Giovanni di Consolo, known as il Sassetta (c. 1392–1450) was a Tuscan painter of the Renaissance, and a significant figure of the Sienese School. While working within the Sienese tradition, he innovated the style by introducing elements derived from the decorative Gothic style and the realism of contemporary Florentine innovators as Masaccio.
