Biography

Baronzio is one of three painters from Rimini in the early 14th century, namely Giuliano, Pietro and Giovanni. The work of the Rimini school may have influenced Giotto during his visit to Rimini. Baronzio is known from a polyptych he executed for the Convent of the Friars Minor in Macerata Feltria.[1] His devotional theme painting "Madonna Adoring Christ Child" resides in the High Museum of Art in Atlanta.
