Did you know?
Giovanni di Ser Giovanni, known as Lo Scheggia, was the younger brother of the renowned Early Renaissance master Masaccio. Despite his famous sibling, Lo Scheggia forged his own artistic path, specializing in smaller, intimate panel paintings for private devotion and decorative arts, like painted marriage chests. His work provides a valuable glimpse into the diverse artistic output of 15th-century Florence beyond the grand public commissions.
