This artist is named for the frescoes in the tabernacle on the facade of the Oratorio di San Crispino (illustrated above), along with a number of other frescoes that were detached from its interior. All of the works so far attributed to him are in Assisi.
Frescoes in the Aedicule the Oratorio di San Crispino (ca. 1330)
The frescoes that survive in situ in the shrine above the portal of the Oratorio di San Crispino are among the works for which this master is named. They were first recorded in 1424, when a document was notarised “ante maiestatem fraternitatis disciplinatorum s. Marie episcopatus” (in front of the Maestà of the Confraternity of Santa Maria del Vescovado, the confraternity to which the oratory originally belonged). They depict:
✴the Madonna and Child enthroned with SS Francis and Clare and members of the confraternity, dressed in white robes;
✴the Lamb of God, above
✴St Blaise, holding the wool carding comb that was the instrument of his martyrdom, to the left; and
✴an unidentified saint, perhaps St John the Baptist, to the right.
