Maestro della Sant'Agata
Maestro della Sant'Agata is a Byzantine icon painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Uffizi Gallery.

The figures have a quiet grace, typical of the time when artists leaned on gold leaf to suggest heaven. Tap *Madonna Pisa* to step closer and notice how the gold glows under the light.
