Sano di Pietro

Sano di Pietro (Ansano di Pietro di Mencio) (bapt. Siena, 2 Dec. 1405; d Siena, 1481).
Sienese painter. He ran a very busy workshop, producing altarpieces and devotional pictures, a large number of which survive. The best are of high quality, but he made extensive use of assistants and his output is repetitive and uneven. His style was strongly influenced by Sassetta, who probably taught him.
