Italian painter. The signature Melior appears on a dossal dated 1271 depicting Christ with the Virgin and Saints (Florence, Uffizi), and it can be identified as that of Meliore dipintore, populi Sancti Jacobi tra le fosse ('Meliore the Painter, of the Parish of St Jacob between the Ditches') mentioned among the combatants in the Battle of Montaperti in 1260. The suggestion that the artist was the Megliore di Jacopo documented at Pistoia from 1239 to 1253 is less certain.Show more
