Mino Da Fiesole Biography
(b Papiano, nr Poppi in Casentino, 1429; d Florence, 1484). Italian sculptor. He worked in both Florence and Rome and apparently established large workshops in both cities, producing many important tombs, altars and tabernacles; he was also one of the first Renaissance sculptors in Florence to carve portrait busts, and his revival of this antique form gave expression to the humanism of Medicean Florence. The majority of his Florentine works are dated or datable, but there is little solid evidence for the dating of his Roman projects, and consequently there is some confusion over his chronology. Because of his familiarity with two distinct sculptural traditions he became a transmitter of ideas between Rome and Florence.
