Master of Pratovecchio
( fl Florence, c. 1450). Italian painter. Longhi gave the name to an anonymous Florentine painter active in the mid-15th century who was influenced by Domenico Veneziano and, to a lesser extent, by Andrea del Castagno. His most important surviving work is a dismembered triptych consisting of an Assumption of the Virgin (Pratovecchio, S Giovanni Evangelista, on dep. Arezzo, Soprintendenza alle Gallerie), side panels of SS Michael and John the Baptist and a Bishop and Female Martyr as well as side pilasters, tondi and pinnacles (all London, N.G.). Longhi suggested that the Death of the Virgin (Boston, MA, Isabella Stewart Gardner Mus.) originally formed the predella, but this is debatable.
