Masolino da Panicale
Italian painter (c. 1383 – c. 1447)
Tommaso di Cristoforo Fini (c. 1383 – c. 1447), known by his nickname Masolino da Panicale (lit. 'Tommy from Panicale'), was an Italian painter.
His best known works are probably his collaborations with Masaccio: Madonna with Child and St. Anne (1424) and the frescoes in the Brancacci Chapel (1424–1428).
