The Angelic Announcement to the Shepherds (1328-30) Fresco in Cappella Baroncelli Santa Croce, Florence
Taddeo Gaddi (c.1300-1366) was an Italian painter, active during the early Renaissance.
He was an assistant to the painter Giotto and the father of the painters Giovanni Gaddi, Agnolo Gaddi and Niccolò Gaddi; his fourth son, Zanobi, does not appear to have been an artist.
His work includes frescoes in the Baroncelli Chapel at Santa Croce in Florence (1328-38) as well as:
- The Stigmatization of Saint Francis (http://www.artmuseums.harvard.edu/collections/servlet/webpublisher.WebCommunication?ia=codetail&ic=basic&oid=854&sq=1&tr=1&tech=) (c.1325-1330), tempera on wood panel
- Madonna and Child Enthroned (http://www.arca.net/uffizi/img/Ap027.jpg) (1335), tempera on wood
He is also credited with the design of the Ponte Vecchio in Florence.
Giorgio Vasari included a biography of Taddeo Gaddi in his Lives.
