Master of St Cecilia

The Master of St Cecilia is an unknown Italian painter active circa 1290 to 1320 in Florence. Little is known of his biography. He seems to contain inscriptions and poses derived from Ancient Roman mosaics, suggesting exposure to Rome. A number of works are attributed to him including the altarpiece of St Cecilia Enthroned in the Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence. Some of the frescoes from the Legend of St Francis in the Upper Church of San Francesco, Assisi are attributed to him. Also attributed to this painter, is the altarpiece of St Margaret with Six Scenes from Her Life in the Santa Margherita a Montici in Arcetri, Florence.
