Here we have an annotated alphabetical listing of visual artists from the Proto-Renaissance period (ca. 1100-ca. 1400) in Italy. As "Proto-" segued into "Early Renaissance," and because no one was considerate enough of us, today, to stop working at 1400 on the dot, you can expect to see a fair amount of overlapping with the 15th-century Italian Artists list. Hyperlinked names indicate a path to an individual artist's profile.
This page covers artists whose surnames began with the letters G through O.
