About Pietro da Rimini
Pietro was born in a city called Rimini in Italy. He lived at the same time as other painters like Giovanni and Giuliano da Rimini. Pietro mostly worked in the Marche region of Italy.
His art was greatly inspired by the famous painter Giotto. Giotto had visited Rimini around 1303. Pietro might have even worked in Giotto's art studio, but we don't know for sure. Pietro was also influenced by the Sienese school, especially by another artist named Pietro Lorenzetti.

Several paintings are believed to be by Pietro da Rimini. Even if they look a bit different from each other, they are thought to be his work.
Some of his famous pieces include:
- A painting called Deposition from the Cross, which is now in the Louvre museum in Paris.
