Master of Pratovecchio

Illustration — Madonna and Child with Saint Bridget and the Archangel Michael, formerly in the Getty Collection The Master of Pratovecchio (active between about 1435 and 1455) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance, named by Roberto Longhi in a 1952 article on the basis of stylistic similarities of a number of works to an altarpiece painted for the monastery of San Giovanni Evangelista in Pratovecchio. The centre panel of the triptych, depicting the Assumption of the Virgin is currently on deposit in Arrezo; the left and right side-panels are in the National Gallery, London. Other works attributed to the artist include Three Archangels in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin, a Madonna and Child in the Fogg Art Museum, Cambridge, Massachusetts, another Madonna and Child in the Pinacoteca di Brera, Milan and a Madonna with six angels, in the Pierpont Morgan Library & Museum, New York.
