Daddi, Bernardo

(born c. 1290, Florence?—died c. 1355, Florence?) Italian painter. He became one of the leading painters in Florence after the death of his teacher, Giotto. He directed a busy workshop specializing in small devotional panels and portable altarpieces. His works include a triptych for the Church of Ognissanti (1328) and the polyptych Crucifixion with Eight Saints (1348). His style, a fusion of Giotto's seriousness and the lightness of Sienese art, featuring smiling Madonnas and abundant flowers and draperies, remained the dominant style of Florentine painting through the 14th century.
