Buonamico Buffalmacco
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Buonamico di Martino or Buonamico Buffalmacco (active c. 1315–1336) was an Italian painter who worked in Florence, Bologna and Pisa. None of his known work has survived, although he is assumed to be the painter of The Triumph of Death, a fresco cycle in the Camposanto in Pisa.
Boccaccio (in his Decameron) and Franco Sacchetti (in his Il trecentonovelle) both describe Buonamico as being a practical joker. Giorgio Vasari includes a biography of Buonamico in his Lives, in which he tells several anecdotes about his comic escapades.
