Francesco Traini, active (1321–1363)

• Was an Italian painter.
• Traini was documented as working in Pisa and Bologna.
• He appears to have been a follower of Andrea Orcagna to judge by only one work known to be by Traini.

• In 1345 he signed and dated a polyptych of the Pisan church of S. Caterina.

• Most scholars attribute many of the huge frescoes of the Camposanto Monumentale in Pisa to Traini.

• There are Traini paintings at the Princeton University Art Museum, Ackland Art Museum, and an Allegorical Representation of Crucifixion with Saints Andrew and Paul at the Carnegie Art Museum.
