N2 - This text offers a critical assessment of the anonymous artist known as the Master of the Dominican Effigies, positioning this active mid-14th-century painter and illuminator as a central figure in post-Giottesque Florentine art. Analysis focuses on his narrative precision, expressive miniaturist execution, and fluid integration of panel painting, fresco, and manuscript illumination. Examination of his core surviving works—most notably his eponymous panel Christ and the Virgin Enthroned with Dominican Saints at Santa Maria Novella, the historically vital Biadaiolo manuscript illuminations, and his collaboration with Pacino di Bonaguida on the Laudario di Sant'Agnese—illuminates his role in codifying regional monastic iconographies and advancing vernacular narrative structures during the Italian Trecento.
