Paolo Schiavo
Paolo Schiavo, the pseudonym of Paolo di Stefano Badaloni (1397-1478) was a Florentine painter.
Born in Rome, Paolo Schiavo enrolled in the Arte dei Medici e Speziali (the guild of Doctors and Apothecaries) in 1428. According to Vasari, he was a follower of Masolino.[1] Schiavo dedicated a lot of his later works to Masolino. Among his dedications were frescoes of the Virgin and Child Enthroned with Saints (1436), of The Crucifixion Adored by Nuns (1447-8) and of the Adoration of the Magi, the Annunciation and various saints. He made several other dedicatory works, all of which bear his signature and their corresponding dates.[2] He died in Pisa.
Frescoes by Schiavo adorn the chapel on the left in the church of San Michele a Castellaccio di Sommaia, near Florence.[2]
