Zanobi Strozzi (1412 – 1468),

was an Italian painter and manuscript illuminator, active in his native Florence and nearby Fiesole. Most surviving works are manuscript illuminations, but several panel paintings survive, including six altarpieces and six panels with the Virgin and Child, as well as some designs for metalwork. Vasari says Strozzi "painted pictures and panels for a great many private houses in Florence" (per tutta Fiorenza, per le case de' cittadini) and mentions some in churches, as well as a double portrait. He may have been something of a pioneer in producing small pictures for homes that departed from the usual subject of the Virgin and Child. He was one of the most important illuminators in Florence in his day, and his contribution to eighteen manuscripts can be documented.
