Venäläinen From Moskovan ruhtinaskunta Venäläinen ikonimaalaus On Wikipedia in 31 of 32 languages
Andrei Rublev (n. 1360 – n. 1430) säilyy yhtenä venäläisen taidehistorian arvoituksellisimmista ja syvimmistä vaikutusvaltaisista hahmoista. Hänen uskotaan syntyneen Moskovaan, vaikka jotkut kertomukset viittaavat mahdolliseen alkuperään lähellä kaupunkia sijaitsevassa Kolminaisuuden Pyhän Sergiuksen Lavra -luostarissa – paikassa, joka olisi voinut syvästi vaikuttaa hänen taiteelliseen kehitykseensä. Vuonna 1405 hän yhdisti voimansa Teofaniksen ja Gorodetsin Prokhorin kanssa koristellakseen Ilmoituksen katedraalia, mikä oli käännekohta venäläisessä ikonimaalauksessa.

Italialainen From Siena Sienalaisen koulukunnan On Wikipedia in 29 of 32 languages
Ambrogio Lorenzetti, jonka syntymäaika sijoittuu noin vuoteen 1290 Sienan sydämessä Italiassa, kohosi keskeiseksi hahmoksi siirtyessä keskiaikaisista taiteellisista perinteistä nousevaan renessanssiin. Vaikka hänen aikalaistensa, kuten Duccion ja Simon Martinin, varjoissa hän oli ajoittain unohduksessa, ja häntä käsiteltiin usein veljensä Pietro Lorenzettin rinnalla, Ambrogio löysi oman ainutlaatuisen polkunsa – polun, jota leimasi innovatiivinen henki ja syvällinen sitoutuminen ympäröivään maailmaan.

Pietro Lorenzetti (n. 1280–1348) nousee esiin sienalaisen taiteen keskeisenä hahmona, joka merkitsi syvää siirtymää goottilaisesta muodollisuudesta varhaisrenessanssin kukoistaviin humanistisiin ihanteisiin. Sienassa noin vuonna 1280 syntyneen Lorenzettin taiteellinen matka avautui Toscanan eläväisen kulttuurimaiseman keskellä aikana, jolloin vallitsi merkittävä älyllinen ja taiteellinen murros.

Tämän muutoksen ytimessä seisoi Hubert van Eyck, hahmo, jonka nimi on ikuistettu pohjoisen renessanssin taiteen peruskiviin. Maasikissa noin vuonna 1385 tai 1390 syntynyt hän kuului mahtavaan taiteelliseen dynastiaan; hänen perhesiteensä, mukaan lukien kuuluisa veli Jan sekä sisarukset Lambert ja Margaret, loivat luovuuden sulatteen, joka muutti pysyvästi eurooppalaisen maalaustaiteen suunnan.

italialainen From Firenze Varhaisrenessanssi On Wikipedia in 23 of 32 languages
1300-luvun Firenzen eläväisessä ja kukoistavassa ilmapiirissä, jolle oli ominaista siirtymä keskiajalta varhaisrenessanssiin, Taddeo Gaddi nousi valon, kertomuksen ja arkkitehtonisen loiston mestariksi. Yhtenä legendaarisen Giotto di Bondonen arvostetuimmista oppilaista Gaddi ei ainoastaan perinyttä tyyliä; hän laajensi aikansa visuaalista sanastoa. Vaikka Giotto keskittyi ihmisyyden raakaan, veistokselliseen olemukseen, Gaddi toi mukanaan hienostunutta eleganssia ja valon kehittyneempää käyttöä, joka kykeni muuttamaan tasaisen pinnan jumalallisen säteilyn ikkunaksi.

Italian From Firenze Gothic, Early Renaissance On Wikipedia in 20 of 32 languages
Agnolo Gaddi, born around 1350 in Florence, stands as a cornerstone of Italian painting’s transition from the Gothic to the Early Renaissance—a figure whose artistic lineage traced directly back to Giotto di Bondone solidified his place within Florentine art history. The monumental figures, the emotionally resonant expressions, and the narrative clarity characteristic of Giotto’s frescoes permeated Gaddi’s initial paintings—a testament to his unwavering dedication to mastering Giotto's groundbreaking style.

Kreikkalainen From Konstantinopoli Bysanttilainen ikonografia On Wikipedia in 22 of 32 languages
Noin vuonna 1340 Konstantinopolissa syntynyt, vaikka hänet yhdistetäänkin usein Kreikkaan myöhempien toimintojensa vuoksi, Teofanes oli keskeinen hahmo, joka loi sillan bysanttilaisen taiteen viimeisen kukoistuksen ja Venäjän nousevien perinteiden välille. Hän ei ollut pelkkä maalaaja; hän oli hengellinen arkkitehti, joka loi kuvia, joiden tarkoitus ei ollut olla vain kauniita esineitä, vaan portteja jumalalliseen. 1300-luvun lopun poliittinen levottomuus johti todennäköisesti Teofanesin muuttoon Konstantinopolista.

Syntynyt taiteelliseen sukuun itse Venetsian sydämessä – hänen isänsä oli kuuluisa taiteilija – Venezianon lyhyt mutta loistava ura osui eurooppalaisen maalaustaiteen murrosvaiheeseen.

Italialainen From Siena Kansainvälinen goottilaisuus On Wikipedia in 17 of 32 languages
Lippo Memmi, syntynyt noin vuonna 1291 Sienassa Italiassa, on keskeinen hahmo keskiaikaisen maalaustaiteen bysanttilaisista juurista nousevan kansainvälisen goottilaisen tyylin kehityksessä. Vaikka hänestä puhutaan usein hänen kuuluisan lankonsa ja mentorinsa Simone Martinin yhteydessä, viimeaikainen tutkimus tunnustaa yhä enemmän Memmin omaleimaisen taiteellisen äänen ja merkittävän panoksen 1300-luvun sienalaiseen taiteeseen. Ehkä tunnetuin niistä on Ilmoitus Pyhän Margaretin ja Pyhän Ansanuksen kanssa (1333), joka luotiin yhteistyössä Simone Martinin kanssa Uffizin gallerialle.

Noin vuonna 1330 syntynyt Altichiero Da Zevio, joka kotoisin läheisestä Zevion kaupungista Veronasta, ei ollut pelkkä pyhien tapahtumien kronikoija, vaan venetsialaisen goottilaisen tyylin edelläkävijä. Tämä yhteys, joka todennäköisesti syntyi Giotton oppilaiden, kuten Taddeo Gaddin, intiimin tutkimuksen kautta, antoi Altichierolle mahdollisuuden täyttää työnsä syvällä tilan, painon ja narratiivisen selkeyden tunteella, joka oli vallankumouksellista hänen aikanaan. Hänen nousunsa merkittävyyteen oli leimattu arvokas tilaus Sala del Podestà -salin koristeluun della Scala -palatsissa.

Bernardo Daddi, joka syntyi Firenzeに noin vuonna 1290 ja kuoli vuonna 1348, seisoo keskeisenä hahmona myöhäisgotiikan ja kukoistavan italialaisen renessanssin murrosvaiheessa. Hänen alkutuotantonsa osoittaa selvän yhteyden Gioton seuraajiin – mestareihin kuten "Santa Cecilian mestari" ja muihin 1300-luvun ensimmäisen neljänneksen florentilaisiin maalareihin – heijastaen suoraa taiteellista vaikutusketjua. Samoin huomionarvoista on Vatikaanin Pinacoteca-museossa säilytettävä "Pyhän Estevan marttyyrikuolema" – predella, joka koostuu kahdeksasta paneelista ja joka on maalattu noin vuonna 1345.

italialainen From Pontecorvo Gotiikka
Andrea Pisano (n. 1290 – 1348 Orvieto) nousee italialaisen renessanssiveistoksen monumentaaliseksi hahmoksi, vaikka hänen taiteellinen perintönsä on erottamattomasti kytkeytynyt edeltävään goottilaiseen aikakauteen ja muovautunut syvästi Giotto di Bondonen vallankumouksellisen vaikutuksen alaisena. Pisano syntyi Pontecorvoon, Lazioon, ja hänen varhaisvuotensa säilyvät osittain mysteerin peitossa; hän kuitenkin hioi taitojaan alun perin kultasepän työssä ennen kuin omistautui kokonaan kuvanveistolle noin vuonna 1300 Mino di Giovannin oppisuogan alaisena.

Vaikka hän syntyi jo Kublai Khanin kuoleman jälkeen, Ni Zanin perheellä oli varaa tarjota hänelle vaativa konfutselainen koulutus, mikä loi pohjan hänen syvälle sivistyneelle taiteelleen. Ni Zanin omaleimainen tyyli, joka kehittyi vuoden 1345 jälkeen, oli tietoinen ja voimakas tapa ilmaista omaa sisäistä maailmaa.

Ensimmäinen dokumentoitu merkintä hänen läsnäolostaan näkyy Firenzen arkistoissa 17. lokakuuta 1346, jossa hänet lueteltiin Johannes Jacobi de Commo ulkomaalaajien joukossa, jotka asuivat Toscanassa – todiste siitä vetovoimasta, jota Firenze kohdisti taiteilijoihin, jotka etsivät uusia mahdollisuuksia ja kukoistavaa taideympäristöä.
