Details

Italian painter. He was active in Pisa between 1420 and 1429, then in Lucca where in 1447 he became a citizen of the city. Formerly his works were ascribed to a Master of Saints Cyrus and Juliet (Santi Quirico e Giulitta). He was identified as Borghese di Piero Borghese in 1965 by Roberto Longhi after reviewing three predella scenes belonging to the triptych The Story of Saints Julitta and Quiricus (Courtauld Gallery, London). The predella scenes show the martyrdom of these two saints. //
