Details

Dalmatian/Italian painter. He is one of the best documented artists working in Zadar, whose name appears in about a hundred documents in the archives of the city. These documents, dated from 1385 to 1427, refer to specific commissions, many from private patrons, for a variety of artworks for a number of different churches. He designed also the tomb of the archbishop of the city, Nikola Matafar. As his name suggests, Meneghello originally hailed from Venice, where he probably trained before moving his workshop to Zadar. Apart from the large number of documents referring to his artistic commissions, little is known about him since none of his documented works survives. However, he was he was convincingly identified with the artist named the Master of the Tkon Crucifix (who in turn is identified with the Master of Helsinus), thus a considerable oeuvre can be associated with Meneghello. //
