Note 55 — PART II

The painter from whom Baldovinetti purchased this ‘biadetto’ was ‘Lorenzo dipiero randeglj dipintore in borgho so apostolo’; so named in an entry of the year 1472 in the ‘Libro Rosso’ of the Compagnia di San Luca, fol. 90 tergo. This Lorenzo was, no doubt, the ‘Lorenzo dipiero dip[a]pa, dipintore,’ of the popolo of ‘Santa Maria di Verzaia drento alle mura,’ who in 1498 returned his ‘Portata della Decima,’ in Gonfalone Drago, Quartiere di Santo Spirito. He was then living in a house which he had bought in 1483, situated in the Via San Gallo; and he still rented ‘vna botegha aduso didipintore, posta in firenze in borgho santo appostolo enelpopolo di santo stefano a ponte.’—Firenze: Archivio di Stato; l. c. Campione 2do, No verde 28, fol. 909.
