Francesco Tacconi
Francesco Tacconi (
fl. 1464 – 1490) was an
Italian painter of the
Renaissance period, active in
Cremona in the 15th century. He and his brother,
Filippo Tacconi, executed several frescoes in a loggia in the Palazzo Pubblico of their native city. In 1464 their fellow-citizens exempted them from all taxes on account of these frescoes, which have since, however, been whitewashed over. In 1460, Francesco was employed in
St Mark's Basilica in
Venice, where he painted, on the organ doors then in use, with ''Epiphany'', ''Resurrection'', and ''Assumption''. These paintings, though much damaged, are still preserved, and are said once to have been signed and dated.
