Early Life and Training
Pellegrino was born in a town called San Daniele del Friuli. His birth name was Martino da Udine, but he became known as Pellegrino da San Daniele, taking the name of his hometown. Not much is known about his early training, but he became a skilled artist during a very important time for art.
His Artistic Style and Works
Pellegrino da San Daniele was known for his beautiful frescoes. Frescoes are paintings made directly onto wet plaster walls or ceilings. This technique was very popular during the Renaissance. He completed many frescoes in the church of San Antonio in his hometown of San Daniele.
His art style was part of the late-Quattrocento (the 1400s) and the early Renaissance. He was later greatly influenced by another famous Italian painter named Il Pordenone. This means Pellegrino learned new ideas and techniques from Pordenone, which helped his own art grow and change.
One of his notable works is "San Marco between Justice and Prudence," which can be seen in the Ca' Rezzonico museum. Another important painting is "Santa Colomba," located in a church in Osoppo, a town in the Udine province. These works show his skill in painting religious scenes and figures.
Teaching and Legacy
Pellegrino da San Daniele also taught other artists. Some of his students who became painters themselves included Luca Monverde, Girolamo da Udine, and Sebastiano Florigerio. Through his teaching, he helped pass on the artistic traditions of the Renaissance to the next generation of painters in the Friuli region. His work remains an important part of Italian art history.
