Nanni di Banco
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nanni d'Antonio di Banco (c.1384-1421) was a Florentine sculptor.
He helped create the winning model for the Duomo of the Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral in Florence (1418), under the leadership of Filippo Brunelleschi, alongside Donatello. His sculpture works for the church include the Assumption of the Virgin, just over the Porta della Mandorla.
Nanni di Banco's most famous works is perhaps the Quattro Santi Coronati group, at Orsanmichele, strongly influenced by the classical tradition.
Giorgio Vasari includes a biography of Nanni di Banco in his Lives.
