Domenico da Tolmezzo (also referred to as Domenico Mioni, or Dominico di Candido), Italian painter and sculptor (wood carver). He is considered as the leader of the Tolmezzo School, a large group of artists from Friuli active in the second half of the fifteenth century. They combined the Renaissance innovations in Veneto with the influences of Venetian Gothic. An example of this style is the St Lucy Altarpiece (Galleria d'Arte Antica, Udine). He joined the school of painting around 1462. His early works can be seen in the Santa Toscana, Verona (frescoes) and in the cathedral of Udine (altarpiece). In the latter he was inspired by Mantegna. His activities as wood carver was even more fruitful. His altarpieces show the monumentality and rhythms of the Vivarini. Examples from the 1480s are in the churches in Carnia, Invillino and Illegio. Domenico da Tolmezzo ran a successful family workshop which was inherited after his death by his nephew Giovanni Martini. //
