PIETRO CAVALLINI Pietro Cavallini (1259 – c. 1330) was an Italian painter and [|mosaic] designer working during the late [|Middle Ages]. Little is known about his biography, though it is known he was from [|Rome], since he signed pictor romanus. His first notable work were the fresco cycles for the [|Basilica di San Paolo fuori le Mura], with stories from the [|New] and [|Old Testament] (1277–1285). They were destroyed by the fire of 1823. His [|Last Judgment] in the Church of [|Santa Cecilia in Trastevere] in Rome, painted c. 1293 and considered Cavallini's masterwork, demonstrates an artistic style known as [|Roman naturalism]. This naturalism influenced the work of artists working in other Italian cities such as [|Florence] and [|Siena].
