MARGARITONE (Margheritone), born at Arezzo in 1216 (?), died there in 1293 (?). Tuscan school. A rude follower of the Byzantine school, classed with Giunta Pisano and other painters of crucifixes, portraits of St. Francis, etc., of a repulsive type. The Church of S. Francesco, Arezzo, contains a St. Francis and a Madonna by him, and the National Gallery, London, a Madonna with symbols of the Evangelists, coloured like playing-cards. Crucifixes attributed to him are in the chapel of the Sacristy, S. Croce, Florence, and in S. Francesco, Castiglione, Aretino. The Madonna delle Vestighe near Monte San Savino is signed with his name and dated 1284.
