was an Italian painter. Gregorio d'Arezzo is known only from the signature on a triptych dated 1315 in the cathedral of Bracciano near Rome, about 120 miles from his native town of Arezzo, an active center of art, he painted the triptych with his brother Donato. They were inspired by the styles of Duccio from Siena and Giotto from Florence. Both Duccio and Giotto had, in their own ways, broken from the Byzantine tradition of flatness and abstraction that had previously dominated Italian art. Their stylistic innovations brought the Gothic style to an end and heralded the Renaissance.
