Sano di Pietro
Sienese painter and miniaturist, 1405-1481
Sano was a prolific and popular artist in Siena. From the early 1450s, he was producing many large-scale works and he was master of a large shop; assistants' hands are evident in many of his works. He is also famed as an illuminator, which is documented from the end of 1445 when he decorated a Psalter for Siena Cathedral. His miniature scenes are characterized by their lively narrative and clear, rich coloring. Comment on works: religious
