Neri di Bicci

(b Florence, 1418; d Florence, 4 Jan 1492). Italian painter, son of BICCI DI LORENZO. He was the last artist member of the family, whose workshop can be traced back to his grandfather LORENZO DI BICCI. Under Neri’s direction, the workshop was extremely successful and catered to a wide variety of patrons. The details of its activity, including the names of the many pupils and assistants that passed through it, are recorded between 1453 and 1475 in the workshop diary, the Ricordanze, the most extensive surviving document relating to a 15th-century painter.
