The Master of Pratovecchio is an anonymous Italian painter active in Tuscany during the mid-15th century, named after a panel painting of the Madonna and Child discovered in Pratovecchio, in the Casentino region. The artist is associated with a group of works reflecting the influence of Fra Angelico and early Florentine Renaissance traditions, characterized by devotional tenderness and refined gold-ground technique. The identity of this painter remains unresolved by art historians, with attributions debated among scholars of early Renaissance Tuscan painting.
