Pietro Cavallini (1240–1330)

Born 1240 CE, died 1330 CE.

Pietro Cavallini (c. 1240 – c. 1330) was an Italian artist active during the late Middle Ages. His most famous surviving works include the Last Judgment fresco at Santa Cecilia in Trastevere, the Life of the Virgin Mary mosaic cycle at Santa Maria in Trastevere, and several frescos in San Domenico Maggiore. Despite his prolific career, much of Cavallini’s oeuvre has been lost and is known today, albeit tentatively, only through fragments, written descriptions, or stylistic attributions.
