Giusto de Menabuoi

Vasari, who thought he came from Padua, placed Giusto de' Menabuoi in his life of Carpaccio and other Lombards; the scale and magnificence of the frescoes in the Baptistery of the cathedral in Padua entitles him here to his own section.

The frescoes were executed between 1376 and 1378. They were commissioned by Fina Buzzaccarini, the wife of Francesco the Old of Carrara, who wanted to be buried near her husband.
