Lorenzo Da Viterbo

1444 – 1472

Italian painter, active in Viterbo. He is documented in Rome by 1462 as "Master Lorenzo di Jacopo di Pietro Paolo di Viterbo", where he probably came into contact with Antoniazzo Romano. In 1465, he frescoed the Mazzatosta Chapel in the Church of Santa Maria della Verit in Viterbo. This work, the artist's only documented painting, shows his closeness to the Paduan school of painting. The frescoes were nearly destroyed during World War II, and have been painstakingly restored. The Academy of Fine Arts of Viterbo is named after the painter (Accademia di Belle Arti "Lorenzo da Viterbo").
