Antonio, Biagio d

Biagio d’Antonio, also Biagio Tucci (Florence, 1446–1 June 1516), was an Italian Renaissance painter whose style was influenced by Fra Filippo Lippi, Andrea Verrocchio and Ghirlandaio. For much of the last quarter of the fifteenth century Biagio was active in Faenza, but his style continued to reflect Florentine innovations. His paintings also demonstrate influences—particularly in the decorative elements—from early Netherlandish painting. The painter sometimes collaborated with other artists. In 1481–2, he assisted Cosimo Rosselli on frescos in the Sistine Chapel, including the Last Supper and probably the Crossing of the Red Sea. He helped Pietro Perugino in painting in the Palazzo della Signoria. He also frequently painted cassone panels.
