(2) Taddeo Gaddi
( fl ?mid-1320s; d 1366). Son of (1) Gaddo Gaddi. He was a pupil of Giotto and one of the most inventive and influential painters in 14th-century Florence. According to Cennini, Taddeo stayed with Giotto for 24 years. Although the exact length of their association is unverifiable, it probably ended only with the latter’s death in 1337. Taddeo probably occupied a still undefined but doubtless important position in Giotto’s workshop during the master’s busy last years, but such responsibility did not prevent him undertaking work on his own as early as the 1320s.
Part of the Gaddi (i) family
