Italian Early Renaissance Painter, 1420-1497 Italian Renaissance painter. Early in his career he assisted Lorenzo Ghiberti on the east doors of the Baptistery in Florence and Fra Angelico on frescoes in Florence, Rome, and Orvieto. His reputation today rests on the breathtaking fresco cycle The Journey of the Magi (1459 ?C 61) in the chapel of Florence's Medici-Riccardi Palace. His work as a whole was undistinguished, however. He painted several altarpieces and a series of 25 frescoes of Old Testament scenes, now badly damaged, for the Camposanto in Pisa (1468 ?C 84).   Related Paintings of Benozzo Gozzoli :. | The School in Tagaste | Scenes From the Life of St.Augustine | Procession of the Magi | Procession of the Magi (mk08) | St.Francis Giving Away his Clothes and the Vision of the Church Militant and Triumphant |
