Andrea Pisano (Italian, ca. 1290–1349). The Creation of Adam, ca. 1334-37. Marble. 83 x 69 cm (32 11/16 x 27 3/16 in.);

Museo dell'Opera del Duomo, Florence

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 P through Z.
