Maso di Banco (working c 1335- 1350) was an Italian painter of the 14th century who worked in Florence Italy. He and Taddeo Gaddi were the most prominent Florentine pupils of Giotto di Bondone exploring the three-dimensional dramatic realism inaugurated by Giotto.Maso’s name and work are known to us from Lorenzo Ghiberti’s autobiographical I Commentari which identifies frescoes in the chapel of the Holy Confessors at Santa Croce Florence as his chief work.
