Works :—Cutigliano (Pistojese).
130. Betti, Niccolo di Giovanni, del Brig-
laio. Flor., b. 15— d. 16—. P., pt. p. of
Michele Tosini. A.D. mat. Aug. 8, 1576, rep.
z578 [A.D., R. 56, c. 20*, 47*] 3rd Consul, Aug.
1586 [id. 95]. Jan. 1596/7, one of the Auditors of
Accounts [id. 102, c. 94*]. From the registers of
the A.D. we extract the following notices relating
to Niccolo. In April 1571 a figure of Patience
[Patientia] by him was hung up on the walls of the
A.D. He was then in Michele’s bottega [24, c. 31*].
In 1588 Mario Massari, P., claimed 14 lire from
Niccolo, part of the value of a portrait “ alia
macchia ” executed at his request [63, c. 11]. In
1594 Niccolo demanded that Lodovico di Tommaso
Buti, P., be sentenced to give up a bottega he had
taken from Niccolo contrary to the statutes [id.
c. 70*]. In 1596 he received the commission from
the A.D. to paint the portraits of Signori Ridolfo
de’ Bardi, a former, and Piero Strozzi, the actual
Lieutenant of the Academy. For painting the
latter Signor Strozzi presented him, in March 1597/98,
with a picture at his choice. Niccolo selected a
female figure, “ La Distanza,” painted by Giovanni
Nigetti, which was sent to his bottega at the expense
of the A.D. [27, c. 28-50*]. On April 13, 1597,
Niccolo demands that Lionardo Caldori, P., be
sentenced to pay him 70 lire, the value of an “ Ecce
Homo ” after Correggio. He gained his suit [63,
c. 122*]. In Jan. 1599/1600 he claimed 21 lire from
Messer Evandro della Rena, formerly Piovano of
Giogoli, balance of painting done for him [8 ad an.].
On Oct. 30, 1602, the Cav. Giorgio Vasari (Prov-
veditore) and Niccolo affirmed that the portrait of
the wife of the Cav. Alamanni and a sketch of
himself by Filippo Furini were worth 12 scudi, all
at Filippo’s charges [64 ad an.]. In March 1616/17
Niccolo and Sansone Fioravanti, P., called to value
eight pictures of princes and others, painted by
Giovanni Bonini for F. Paolini, declared that, one
with another, they were worth only half a scudo
each, and Bartolommeo Tori, P., confirmed their
valuation [64 ad an.].
There are various other references to Niccolo in
the Registers of civil suits of the A.D., now claims
for money, now citations for debt, which need hardly
be noted here.
Lanzi [Stor. Pitt. I. 239] refers to a signed panel
painted by Niccolo for the scrittojo of Don Fran-
cesco de’ Medici which is now preserved in the
collection of S. Salvi.
Niccolo appears to have changed his bottega
several times in the course of his career. In 1578
he was “ alii Strozzi,” then “ sotto Sta. Trinita,”
later “ da Peruzzi ”—a bottega he was requested by
Signor Jacopo Peruzzi to vacate in Oct. 1603—and,
lastly, “ da S. Ambrogio.”
Niccolo had a son, Cesare, also a P., who mat.
in 1609, paying the reduced fee of 5 lire 10 s.,
benefit of his father [A.D., R. 57, c. 109]. He
therefore belongs to the seventeenth century.
131. Bettino, da Prato. B. 12—, d. 13—.
P. On March 6, 1290 [? c.s. 1291] Bettino was
paid 10 flor. for painting the arms of the “ Consoli
di Giustizia ” for the commune of Prato. On
May 31, 1312, he received a further payment of
16 lire on account of the “ Storie ” painted in the
church of S. Tommaso alia Cannuccia, of the Miracle
of the Holy Girdle, which girdle Musciatorio had
attempted to steal [Giornale Stor. degli Arti
Toscani, II. 248] (v.e. Crowe and Cavalcaselle,
It. ed. II. 485).

In his return to the Catasto for 1427 [A.S.F., S.
Giov. Lion d’oro, N. v. 78, c. 242] Bettino states
that he rents a house in the Via Chiava, for which
he pays 5 flor. per annum, and that he has no pro-
perty. He gives his age as fifty-four. In his
return for 1442 [ut sup. N. v. 622, c. 297] he
describes himself as old and infirm, and states that
he will be seventy-two on May 18.

From May 20, 1505, Bianco and Bastiano di Carlo
Buti became joint tenants of a bottega belonging
to the Florentine Badia, situate in the Via del
Garbo, from which Bianco seems to have retired
in the course of the following year [A.S.F., C.S.
Badia, 263, c. 129; id., 82, c. 19]. Later, however,
he occupied another bottega with Bastiano [q.vi\.

In 1386 Lorenzo coloured the figures of Faith
and Hope which decorate the east side of the loggia
of the Signory, for the inclusive price of 90 gold
flor. [Baldinucci, I. 322]. In 1387 he, with Agnolo
Gaddi and Spinello Aretino, gave designs for four
of the Apostles to be placed on the fagade of Sta.
Maria del Fiore. This series of Apostles and Saints
was carried out and, it appears, completed in 1394
by Piero di Giovanni Tedesco, S. On June 3, 1395,
