Coppo di Marcovaldo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coppo di Marcovaldo (c. 1225 - c. 1276) was an Italian painter.
He was born in Florence, and is mentioned as active in Pistoia in 1265, where he frescoed the St. James Chapel in the cathedral.
The other only certain work is a Madonna del Bordone, signed and dated (1261), in the Chiesa dei Servi of Siena, where he was prisoner after the Battle of Montaperti to which he had took part.
He also provided some cartoons for the mosaics in the Battistero di San Giovanni in Florence, namely with the visionary Last Judgement (c. 1260-1270). In 1274, with his son Salerno, he painted some panels for the Cathedral of Pistoia, now lost.
