Gelasio di Nicoló

Gelasio di Nicoló was an Italian painter of the School of Ferrara active in the 13th century.[1]

Life

Only fragmentary evidence remains on his life and birth. Azzo VII d'Este, lord of Ferrara, commissioned a painting of The Fall of Phaeton from him in 1242.[2] The bishop of Ferrara Filippo Fontana also commissioned from him an image of the Madonna and a gonfalone of Saint George,[3] the city's patron saint.
