Andrea del Castagno
Italian painter
Andrea del Castagno (or Andrea di Bartolo di Bargilla) (c. 1421–19 August 1457) is an Italian painter from Florence, influenced chiefly by Tommaso Masaccio and Giotto di Bondone.
His works include frescoes in Sant'Apollonia in Florence and the painted equestrian monument of Niccolò da Tolentino (1456) in the Cathedral in Florence.
He in turn influences the Ferrarese school of Cosmè Tura, Francesco del Cossa and Ercole de' Roberti.
