PALMERINO DI GUIDO

(b. ~1270 ?, d. ~1320 Assisi)

Italian painter, active in Assisi. He was a collaborator of Giotto on the Legend of St Francis in the Upper Church of San Francesco, and executed many of the paintings in the St Nicholas Chapel of the Lower Church.

Palmerino is probably identical with the so-called (Maestro Espressionista di Santa Chiara (Expressionist Master of Santa Chiara), who painted scenes from the life of Santa Chiara in the church dedicated to this saint (Basilica di Santa Chiara, Assisi).

Palmerino’s son, Guiduccio Palmerucci (1280-c. 1349) was also painter. A Maestà fresco commissioned in 1321 for the Salecta Dominorum Consolorum in Gubbio (a room in the old Palazzo dei Consoli, Gubbio), which has been attributed to the Expressionist Master of Santa Chiara, could be the work of Guiduccio.
