Pisanello


Italian painter and medallist. He painted religious works and portraits in a style untouched by recent Florentine innovations, as in Madonna and Child with St George and St Anthony Abbot (c. 1445; National Gallery, London). He was also an outstanding portrait medallist. His frescoes in the Palazzo Ducale in Mantua were rediscovered after World War II.

Life
His early life was spent at Verona, where he was trained and worked with Gentile da Fabriano, completing frescoes (now destroyed) by Gentile, in Venice and Rome. As a painter and producer of portrait medallions moved from one Italian court to another, working for the Gonzagas in Mantua, the Visconti in Pavia, Sigismondo Malatesta in Rimini, Leonello d'Este in Ferrara, and from 1448, for Alfonso of Aragon in Naples.
