In 1436, he is said to have worked with Masaccio in painting the Life of San Giuliano for the Polyptych of Pisa, including the painting of Madonna and Child. In 1428 he is enrolled in the guild of the Arte dei Medici e Speziali in Florence as "Andrea di Giusto di Giovanni Bugli". He also appears to have collaborated in 1445 with Paolo Uccello in the Capella dell'Assunta in the Prato Cathedral.
