Giovanni Boccardi (painter)

Giovanni di Giuliano Boccardi (13 December 1459 – 1 March 1529) was an Italian illuminator active in Florence. He was also known as Boccardino il Vecchio or Maestro Giovanni.[1]

According to archival evidence, he was born in Florence on 13 December 1459, the son of Giuliano Boccardi and Caterina di Bartolomeo Busini.[2] Earlier scholarship had placed his birth in 1460.

During 1507–1523, Boccardi and his son Francesco painted choir-books for Monte Cassino and Perugia.
