Gerino da Pistoia, also Gerino di Antonio Gerini, (1480–1529) was an Italian painter and designer of the Renaissance.

Biography

Not much is known about Gerino except through his works and a few lines by Giorgio Vasari. Gerino was a pupil of Pietro Perugino and trained in his workshop. He traveled to Rome with Pinturicchio.[1]

The Courtauld Gallery was awarded a grant in 2011 to restore and study a surviving work of his Virgin and Child between Saint John the Baptist and Saint John the Evangelist (1510) which was originally made for the church of Sant'Agostino in Sansepolcro.[2]

Some of his works include:

  • Madonna with St. Michael and St. Peter, in the annex to the oratory of the church of San Alessandro in Milan
  • Madonna (1502), painted relief, Museo Civico, Sansepolcro
  • San Jacopo, Basilica of Our Lady of Humility
  • Madonna and Child with Saints Anthony Abbot and Nicolas of Bari, church San Giorgio a Porciano, Lamporecchio
  • Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes (1513), fresco in dining hall of the convent San Lucchese, Poggibonsi
  • St Jerome Penitent, Museum of the Cathedral of San Zeno, Pistoia
  • Franciscan saints, fifty medallions by Gerino and his students (1501–1509), corridor of the convent of the sanctuary of Chiusi della Verna
