Andrea Orcagna
Andrea di Cione Arcangelo (c.1308-1368), better
known as Orcagna, was a Florentine painter, sculptor and architect.
A student of Andrea Pisano as well as Giotto di Bondone, his brothers
Jacopo and Nardo di Cione were also artists.His works include the
altarpiece of The Redeemer with the Madonna and Saints (1354-57)
in the Strozzi Chapel, Santa Maria Novella and the tabernacle in
Orsanmichele (finished 1359).
The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes
that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the
world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even
draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend
to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces
can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from
the existing paintings.h
