TOMMASI, NICCOLA, of Florence, 14th century. Florentine school; his name appears, with that of Andrea Orcagna and others, in 1366 in the list of the council of S. Maria del Fiore, and in 1371 in the guild of painters, Florence. His picture of St. Anthony, dated 1371, in S. Antonio Abate, Naples, shows that his style was not unlike that of Orcagna.—C. & C., Italy, i. 335, 460.

TOMMASO DA MODENA, born in Treviso, lived latter half 14th century. Bolognese school; though a feeble second-rate painter, he was the first of any note in Modena; style, a mixture of the Gubbian and Bolognese. A St. Catherine in the Venice Academy, dated 1351, ascribed to him, is of the close of the 15th century (C. & C.). An altarpiece by him, in six parts, in the Modena Gallery, is much repainted. In 1357 Tommaso went to Prague, where he painted a Madonna with Saints, now in the Vienna Academy. He is supposed to have decorated the Castle of Carlstein for Charles IV., after 1357, and an Ecce Homo and a Madonna, still there, are attributed to him; also an altarpiece in the Modena Gallery, and a wall painting in S. Niccolò, Treviso.—C. & C., Italy, ii. 218; Burckhardt, 519.
