Biography

All that is known about Martino da Verona is through his works. He is known to have worked in and around Verona. He primarily painted religious-themed works for church commissions. The painting Four Saints (1400) at the Chiesa dei Domenicani as well as Enunciation and Coronation of the Virgin to the left of the presbytery at the church of Santo Stefano, Verona[1] have been attributed to him. Based on analysis of The Consecration of St Eligius which resides at the Ashmolean Museum, Martino appears to have been influenced by Altichiero, who favored complex settings and narrative detail.[2]

I mean, sure, there are quite a lot of instances when buses or cars may need fixing, but tons of people can do that and to some extent you can probably get away with looking it up on the internet on demand; meanwhile, assembly programmng is a rare and hard to learn skill.
