[Orcagna; Orgagna; Arcagnuolo]
(b Florence, 1315–20; d Florence, 1368).
Painter, sculptor and architect, thought to have also been active as a poet. He was trained as a painter and referred to himself as ‘pictor’ on the tabernacle in Orsanmichele (see below). Details of his training are not known, but his first surviving works reveal various influences, especially of Maso di Banco and Taddeo Gaddi.
