Bonino da Milano

(Milan? – Šibenik, May 1429) Bonino di Jacopo da Milano belongs to the group of artists whose life and work connected the two Adriatic coasts. His successful seventeen-year career in Dalmatia, as well as his extant works, testify to the fact that he was a sculptor of great skill and ability, and that he acquired a great reputation in his new homeland. He is especially important because he brought the Lombard style of Italian Gothic art from his native city to the Croatian coast and because in all the cities that he worked in, he collaborated with local stonemasons and stonecutters.
