Gottardo de Scottis [Scotti]

(b Piacenza; fl Milan, 1454–85). Italian painter. He is first documented in 1454 as a native of Piacenza. Between 1456 and 1470 he appears frequently in the account-books of Milan Cathedral working on commissions from various members of the Sforza court. He is also recorded working for the Borromeo family during the same period. His work seems to have consisted of minor tasks, such as the gilding of statues and the design of processional banners and embroidered altarcloths.
