Salimbeni, Lorenzo
(b San Severino, Marche, 1374; d San Severino, c. 1420). Italian painter. Four signed and dated works by him survive: a triptych (1400; San Severino, Pin. Civ.), a frescoed sottarco (1404; San Severino, S Maria della Misericordia), crypt frescoes (1406; San Ginesio, Collegiata) and a Crucifixion (1407; San Severino, S Lorenzo in Doliolo). He also often worked with his brother Iacopo Salimbeni ( fl 1416–27): together they signed the undated frescoes in the chapel under the campanile of the old cathedral, San Severino, and the frescoes in the Oratory of S Giovanni Battista in Urbino, dated 1416. Documents indicate that Lorenzo died before 8 October 1420 and that Iacopo was a councillor of the Comune of San Severino on 27 January 1427. In their joint works it is difficult to distinguish the hand of Iacopo from that of Lorenzo, who is considered by some critics to have been the master.
