List of Artists by Century

So I thought this may be a useful list to have available. It's information I have gathered through my searching for paintings to help me along my path...

12th  Century Artists:

Cenni di Pepo (Giovanni) Cimabue: Born in 1240 and died in 1302. Cimabue has gone by several different names, with Bencivieni di Pepo and Benvenuto di Giuseppe being his most notable. He was a painter and a mosiacs designer in the Byzantine tradition in Italy. Not only known for his works of art, but for his prodigious students, like Giotto di Bondone (see below)

13th Century Artists:

Giotto di Bondone: Born in 1267, near Florence, Italy, and died on January 8th, 1337. Usually known simply by "Giotto", he was a painter and fresco artists, working in the "Gothic" style and was relatively well known for his works. Giotto is often credited with being the first in a long line of renaissance painters who kicked the renaissance into gear.

14th Century Artists:

15th Century Artists:

Francesco del Cossa:  Born 1430 and died 1477.  Cossa is best known for his frescoes. One of the first records we have of him is in 1456 when he was an assistant to his father, Cristofano del Cossa, at that time employed in painting the carvings and statues on the high altar in the chapel of the bishop's palace at Ferrara.

16th Century Artists:

Alonso Sanchez Coello: Born approximately 1531 in Benifairó de les Valls, a province near Valencia, Spain. He died August 8th. 1588, in Madrid. Alonso was a Spanish Painter of great fame and is credited being with one of the fathers of the Spanish Renaissance Portraiture. 

Santi di Tuti : Unkown life- as of right now. Painted the most famous portrait of Niccolo Machiavelli...

Giovanni Battista di Jacopo (1494-1540), known as Rosso Fiorentino (meaning "the Red Florentine" in Italian), or Il Rosso, was an Italian Mannerist painter, in oil and fresco, belonging to the Florentine school. Born in Florence Italy with the red hair that gave him his nickname, Rosso first trained in the studio of Andrea del Sarto alongside his contemporary, Pontormo. In late 1523, Rosso moved to Rome, where he was exposed to the works of Michelangelo, Raphael, and other Renaissance artists, resulting in the realignment of his artistic style.
