CAVALLINI, PIETRO (c. 1259-1344)

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 563 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAU-CHA
CAVALLINI, PIETRO (c. 1259-1344) , Italian painter, born in Rome, was an artist of the earliest epoch of the
modern
  Roman school, and was taught
painting
  and mosaic by Giotto while employed at Rome; it is believed that he assisted his master in the mosaic of the Navicella or ship of St Peter, in the porch of the
church
  of that saint. He also studied under the Cosmati. Lanzi describes him as an adept in both arts, and mentions with approbation his grand fresco of a Crucifixion at Assisi, still in tolerable preservation; he was, moreover, versed in architecture and in sculpture. According to George
Vertue
 , it is highly, probable that
Cavallini
  executed, in 1279, the mosaics and other ornaments of the tomb of
Edward
  the Confessor in Westminster Abbey. He would thus be the " Petrus Civis Romanus " whose name is inscribed on the shrine; but a comparison of
dates
  invalidates this surmise. He died in 1344, at the age of eighty-five, in the odour of sanctity, having in his later years been a man of eminent piety. He is said to have carved for the Basilica of San
Paolo
  fuori le Mura, close to Rome, a crucifix which spoke in 1370 to a female saint. Some highly important works by
Cavallini
  in the
church
  of Santa
Cecilia
  in Trastevere, Rome, have been recently discovered.53
