Master of Orcagnesque Misericordia (c1330 - c1390). The Master of the Orcagnesque Misericordia is an anonymous late 14th-century Florentine painter, whose name is derived from his association with the Misericordia Altarpiece, a work linked to the confraternity of Santa Maria della Misericordia in Florence. His style reflects the influence of Andrea di Cione Orcagna, a leading figure of the Orcagnesque style, characterized by intricate Gothic detailing, a focus on devotional themes, and vivid religious imagery. The artist's work is known for its highly decorative and detailed rendering of sacred figures, often within a rich Gothic framework. While the Master’s true identity remains unknown, his paintings demonstrate a strong connection to the artistic climate of Florence in the late 14th century, with stylistic elements akin to Orcagna's own workshop. His works, although rare, reveal an adept blending of realism and ornate decoration, contributing to the evolution of Florentine painting in the Gothic tradition.
