Master of the Sterbini Diptych

The Master of the Sterbini Diptych was an Italian painter active most likely in Venice during the early fourteenth century; other locations along the Adriatic coast have also been suggested. Several panels associated with this artist are believed to exist; his name is derived from a painting now in the Museo del Palazzo Venezia in Rome. Little is known about the artist, save that he appears to have been influenced by Cretan or Greek traditions of icon-painting. Some historians believe that the artist may actually be a workshop group.
