TEMPESTI

261

TORELLI

Alessandro Tempesti married Sibilla, the daughter
of Filippino Lippi. We have not been able to
ascertain in what relation he stood to A. and his
brother. He was evidently not their father, unless
perchance he made a second marriage later in life.
A. died in Rome and was buried in the church of S.
Rocco a Ripetta. His portrait, Baglione says, was
in the Roman Academy (S. Luke), of which he was
a member. He left one son.

b. 15—, d. -. P. mat. Dec. 30, 1592. The
entries referring to F. in the Registers of the A.D. do
not run beyond 1594/5. He possibly died young.
In Nov. 1583 he was working for Alessandro Allori
on the “ palco ” of Sta. Maria Novella, with Battista
da Brozzi and “ Cencino.”

S. Michele Visdomini.

16. Tommaso del Mazza. Flor., b. c. 1350, d.
-. P. Phy. A. June 5, 1377 (as Tommasius
Mazzi (Reg. 9)). S.L. 1390. Possibly the same as
Tommaso di Marco, named by Vasari as a p. of
Orcagna, who painted, in 1392, a panel in S. Antonio
at Pisa, of which there is no further record. T. was

in art partnership with Pietro Nelli, an association
which lasted for some years, terminating in 1382.
He assisted Pietro in painting the altar-piece in the
parish church of the Impruneta,near Florence, which
was executed in 1375. In 1385 T. painted a chapel
on the left of the high altar of the Duomo of Prato
with six stories in fresco, three being scenes from the
life of S. Stefano and three scenes from the life of the
Virgin. The frescoes in a chapel situated as above
described, which were uncovered from whitewash in
the last century, are believed, as far as regards the
frescoes relating to S. Stefano, to have been painted
by T. Crowe and Cavalcaselle (It. ed. II. 240),
however, are of opinion that the frescoes repre-
senting scenes from the lives of SS. Caterina and
Jacopo, in another chapel by the side of the high
Altar, have more resemblance to the picture of the
Impruneta than the scenes from the life of S.
Stefano. About 1389-91 T. painted a panel for the
Hospital of Bonifazio (Florence), of which the fate
is unknown. He res. in the pop. S. Ambrogii.

P. Phy. A. bet. 1320 and 1341 (Reg. 7). S.L. c.
I35° (or perhaps earlier). T. was a Sienese P.
established in Florence, and in 1341 was in partner-
ship with Francesco di Cialli, P. An estimate of the
goods in and the fittings of their bottega, of their
debts and earnings, was made on Dec. 17, 1341, by
Pasquino di Cenni, P., Vanni Cemuzzo, P., and
Michele Nardi, presumably on the partnership, the
duration of which is not stated, being dissolved.
Their joint profits amounted to 28 flor. of gold.

Registers.)
20. Torelli, The. A family of Florentine illu-
minators (miniatori), who flourished from the latter
half of the fourteenth to the middle of the fifteenth
century. They were probably also cartolari (book-
sellers and stationers). For convenience of reference
we have placed the sons and grandsons under their
respective progenitors.

Angelo Acciajuoli’s missal in 1404, as noted above.
There was probably but little difference in the age
of the brothers, but M. was possibly the elder of
the two. Father of—•
