Taddeo di Bartolo (c. 1363 – 26 August 1422), also known as Taddeo Bartoli, was an Italian painter of the Sienese School during the early Renaissance. He is among the artists profiled in Vasari's ''Le Vite delle più eccellenti pittori, scultori, ed architettori'' (in English, ''Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects''). Vasari claims he is the uncle of Domenico di Bartolo. The exact year Taddeo di Bartolo was born is unknown, but it’s been estimated sometime between 1363-65. Around 1389 he entered the Sienese School of art, where he mastered the art of painting among his Sienese colleagues. In 1389 Taddeo traveled to Collegarli, the San Miniato al Tedesco hills, and Pisa. ''The Virgin and Child Enthroned'' is one of Taddeo’s first documented works; signed and dated in 1390 for the church of San Paolo in Pisa. In 1393 Taddeo traveled to Tuscany where he painted in San Gimignano. Taddeo executed the altarpiece of the ''Virgin and Child and Saints'' for the Sardi and Campigli Chapel in San Francesco in 1395.〔 The Virgin and Child With Saints showcases Taddeo’s earlier style. The thin, elegant figures, and flowing lines of the drapery patterns reflect influence from his Sienese predecessors, such as (Martini ) and (Lorenzetti ). From 1400-01, Taddeo worked at the Palazzo Pubblico in Siena where he created twelve small panels, of which only nine exist today and can be found at the Opera of the Duomo in Siena. These panels give reverence to Taddeo’s craftsmanship in smaller scale work, like many of his contemporaries in the trecento.〔 Around 1401, Taddeo painted the celebrated altarpiece, ''Assumption of the Virgin'' and scenes from the ''Passion'', in Montepulciano.〔 The intention of this piece was for religious and devotional functions. Taddeo worked to accommodate the established conventions of altarpiece painting while simultaneously stylizing the pieces to fit their respective site. In 1403, Taddeo was working in Perugia producing two works for their public gallery. The ''Virgin and Child with two Angels and Saint Bernard'' and ''Descent of the Holy Ghost''. These two works showcase Taddeo’s superior talents, exhibiting delicate coloring and vast human expression; though, they have been painted over throughout the years. In 1406, Taddeo was commissioned to destroy all the paintings in the chapel of the Palazzo Pubblico, and repaint the inside. Many of these paintings represent the Life of the Madonna, including the ''Death of the Virgin'' in which Jesus descends, takes her hand, and receives her in the form of an infant.〔 In 1422 Taddeo’s di Bartolo died in Siena.〔〔 ==Works== Taddeo di Bartolo was born in Siena. Much of his early work was in Pisa, where he was responsible for the frescoes of ''Paradise'' and ''Hell'' in the Cathedral there, and for paintings in the Palazzo Pubblico and the church of San Francesco.
