Simone da Cusighe

Simone da Cusighe, also known as Simone Dal Peron, (documented 1386 - 1412) was an Italian painter of the late Gothic period, active in Belluno.[1]

His names derive from villages near Belluno, was living in portions of the 14th and 15th centuries, and is thought to have died close upon 1416. The main altar-in the Belluno Cathedral was executed by him in 1397. There also remain of his works:

  • St. Martin dividing his Cloak: and sixteen other episodes from his life, from Baptistery, Belluno
  • Madonna della Misericordia and Scenes from the Life of St Bartholemew on display at Galleria Giorgio Franchetti alla Ca' d'Oro, Venice
