Synopsis

Excerpt from Bryan's Dictionary of Painters and Engravers, Vol. 2

Daddi, bernardo, a Florentine painter, was the contemporary and colleague of Jacopo Landini di Casentino in the formation Of the Academy of St. Luke at Florence in 1349. He was born towards the close of the 13th century, and was one of the most able of the pupils of Giotto. He painted in fresco the histories Of St. Lawrence and St. Stephen in the Berardi chapel in Santa Croce, and also the gates of the Old city of Florence; but the only frescoes which remain are those representing the Martyrdoms of St. Stephen and St. Lawrence. In 1346 - 7 he painted his best work, the miracle working picture of the Virgin, which is still in Or San Michele at Florence. His death took place in 1350.
Besides the above-mentioned, the following works by Daddi are extant.
