Identity
Identity
He is first recorded in 1353. Apart from a number of Madonnas and other religious works, his main work is a rather puzzling and now dispersed set of panels for a polyptych work on the Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian for Padua Cathedral, several panels of which are now in the Diocesan Museum there, with another still in the cathedral. It is signed and dated 1367. A large hanging crucifix in the Church of the Eremitani in Padua is attributed to him. This is next door to the Scrovegni Chapel where Giotto completed his most famous fresco cycle in about 1305.
Nicolò Semitecolo is recorded as painter.
