Lorenzo di Bicci (1350–1427)
Florentine Early Renaissance painter.
Lorenzo di Bicci (c. 1350–1427) was a Florentine painter and the head of a workshop that included his son Bicci di Lorenzo. He produced gold-ground altarpieces for Florentine churches in the last decades of the Trecento.

The words the record keeps using: devout, hierarchical, gilded, Florentine, didactic.
