TACCONI, FRANCESCO, of Cremona
(1464-90). Lombard school. He and his
brother Filippo described in a decree of
1464 as famous painters of Cremona, worthy
of praise for their success in painting
the loggia of the public palace. A Madonna
by Francesco, dated 1489, National
Gallery, London, shows a tendency to imitation
of the Vivarini; but in his pictures
on the shutters of the organ of S. Marco,
Venice (1490), now in the lumber room, the
style is feeble Squarcionesque.—C. & C.,
N. Italy, ii. 439; Siret, 901; Burckhardt,
611.

TAFI, ANDREA, of Florence, born in
1213 (?), died in 1294 (?). According to
Vasari's doubtful account, he went to Venice
and induced one Apollonius, a Greek, to return
with him to Florence to teach him the
art of mosaic. The Baptistery there was
adorned by them in common, one figure
alone, the colossal Saviour in the cupola,
being the unaided work of Tafi. It shows
that he was a feeble artist, who combined
the defects of the Italo-Byzantine school of
the period.—C. & C., Italy, i. 195; Meyer,
Künst-Lex., i. 690; Vasari, ed. Le Mon., i.
281; Burckhardt, 488.

Schnaase, viii. 460.
