Master of San Martino alla Palma

The Master of San Martino alla Palma was a Florentine painter active during the first third of the fourteenth century. He takes his conventional name from an altarpiece in the parish church of San Martino alla Palma, in the town of Scandicci, in the province of Florence. He was formerly known as the Amico di Daddi, a label that reflected his close link to Bernardo Daddi, whose immediate follower he was.

His chronology remains uncertain, and scholars have not agreed on his identity. He has been linked with other artists of the same period, among them the Master of Saint Cecilia, the Master of the Saint George Codex and Lippo di Benivieni. These attributions have not been conclusively confirmed, so the body of work assigned to him should be read with caution.

His significance lies in what he reveals about the Florentine workshop of the early Trecento, where Daddi's legacy was passed on and adapted by a new generation of painters.
