• Was an Italian painter. • Gregorio d'Arezzo is known only from the signature on a triptych dated 1315 in the cathedral of Bracciano near Rome. • Bracciano about 120 miles from his native town of Arezzo, an active center of art, he painted the triptych with his brother Donato. • They were inspired by the styles of Duccio from Siena and Giotto from Florence. • Both Duccio and Giotto had, in their own ways, broken from the Byzantine tradition of flatness and abstraction that had previously dominated Italian art. • Their stylistic innovations brought the Gothic style to an end and heralded the Renaissance. • Next
