Giugni, Antonio di Domenico di Domenico di Niccolò di Giovanni

Description

On 23 January 1415, Antonio di Domenico di Domenico Giugni had ser Guido di Domenico Pucci draw up his testament. The act took place in the Cerchi Chapel in the cloister of San Francesco in the presence of several friars. In his testament, Antonio requested burial in Santa Croce, rather than his home parish church, a lavish funeral, and also left various bequests including 50 florins to fund the creation of an altarpiece depicting the Virgin and Child for the country church of S. Maria a Latera. Werner Cohn was the first to recognize this painting as the dismembered triptych now divided between the Cleveland Museum of Art (inv. 1954.834) and two private collections. The picture is dated 1419 and has been attributed to Battista di Biagio Sanguigni, a.k.a. the Master of 1419.

It is not presently known when or whether Antonio was buried in Santa Croce. On 28 April 1418, Antonio di Domenico di Domenico Giugni was drawn to represent the Ruote gonfalone on the Sixteen, but he was still too young to be elected. By the next time his nameslip was pulled from a purse dated 1391 (12 September 1424), he was dead.
