Giovanni da Milano

Giovanni da Milano (active c. 1346–1369) was an influential Italian painter who worked in Florence during the Proto-Renaissance. Originally from Lombardy, Giovanni brought a fresh sense of naturalism and emotional depth to the Florentine school of painting. His works reveal a mastery of composition, delicate use of color, and expressive figures that contributed to the transition from Gothic stylization to Renaissance realism.

One of his most notable works, the Raising of Lazarus (c. 1365, Rinuccini Chapel, Florence), demonstrates his talent for dramatic narrative and finely balanced design. Giovanni da Milano is admired for his ability to merge the decorative elegance of Gothic art with the human-centered vision of early Renaissance painting.
