Altichiero da Zevio (ältēkyā`rō dä tsāv`yō), c.1330–c.1395, Italian painter, follower of Giotto. He worked in Verona and then Padua. His frescoes in the churches of Sant' Antonio and San Giorgio in Padua are notable as early examples of the use of classical proportions in the treatment of figures and space. |

| John Richards's
book on the art of Altichiero -- the first monographic treatment of the
artist since 1966 -- and the network of patronage from which he
benefited is a useful, although certainly not flawless, attempt to
increase our understanding of the painter's career. Padua's Guariento and Altichiero, on the other hand, rise in the
book to the level of great artists, with Altichiero securing substantial
treatment for his frescoes in the Oratory of San Giorgio in Padua and
Guariento for the frescoes in the Chapel of the Reggio. Petrarch may also have had some contact with Paduan artistic
culture during his years of residency there; on his relation to the
painter Altichiero (who included portraits of him in three separate
fresco cycles), see Mellini, 51-54. |
