Workshop of The Zavattari Family

The Workshop of the Zavattari Family was a prominent Lombard atelier active in fifteenth-century Milan, best known for their extraordinary fresco cycle in the Theodelinda Chapel of Monza Cathedral, completed around 1444. The family workshop, comprising multiple generations including Franceschino, Giovanni, and Gregorio Zavattari, produced richly decorative works characterized by elaborate Gothic ornamentation, jewel-like color, and courtly elegance. Their output reflects the refined International Gothic taste of the Visconti and early Sforza courts, blending narrative complexity with sumptuous surface detail.
