VITTORE

PISANO (c. 1380-1456)  , commonly called PISANELLO, Italian medallist, was a native of San Vigilio sul Lago in the territory of Verona . Specimens of his work as a painter are still extant in Rome, Venice, Verona and Pistoia, and entitle him to a place of some distinction in the history of that art . The National Gallery in London possesses a very fine specimen of Pisanello's work=a panel painted with miniature-like delicacy . During the latter portion of his life he lived in Rome, where he enjoyed great repute .
