Michele Giambono

Michele Giambono, St Chrysogonus on Horseback, c. 1450, Panel 199 x 134 cm, San Trovaso, Venice

Michele Giambono (c. 1400- c. 1462) was an Italian painter and mosaicist of the Early Renaissance in Venice. Giambono's style, in general, remains archaic and iconic, and seems generally unaffected by Florentine experimentation with perspective and dimensionality of figures. He designed some of the mosaics,representing scenes from Life of the Virgin, in the Mascoli chapel in the church of Saint Mark's Basilica. Also known as Michele di Taddeo, Giambono, Zambone, Zambono, Bono, or Michele Giovanni Boni

He was a pupil of Jacobello del Fiore. He was born at Venice about the beginning of the century. At the Accademia is a Redeemer between St. Bernardino and other Saints painted soon after the canonization of that saint, which occurred about 1470.
