The Onset of an Artistic Extravaganza

Apprenticeship and Early Career (1410-1426)

The present study focuses on his apprenticeship (c.1410-1417) and – in light of a newly rediscovered early Virgin of Humility – his subsequent development as he broke away from his first teachers (1417-1426). The second part of the volume offers a survey of Giovanni di Paolo’s biography and career, with a discussion of some of his dated works.
