Coming from Venice . As a young man, he entered the workshop of Taddeo Gaddy , who studied under Giotto himself. The most significant works of Antonio Veneziano are paintings for the Cathedral in Siena (1370) and frescoes with the “Legend of St. Raniero” for Campo Santo in Pisa (1384-1386). The frescoes by Antonio Veneziano, which decorated the Doge's Venetian Palace , have not been preserved. The artist enriched the monumentality of Giotto's images in his paintings with numerous repetition of naturalistic details and a more accurate perspective. After 1388, traces of Antonio Veneziano are lost.
