Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects
Giorgio Vasari in his "Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects" recounts that Pesello was an Italian (Florentine) painter who flourished from about 1390 and died after 1457. He gives the artist’s full name as Francesco di Pesello. Vasari seems to have combined elements from the lives of Giuliano Pesello (1367–1446), and his son-in-law Stefano di Francesco (died 1427) in his account.
