Abstract
This thesis will analyze why three of Neri di Bicci’s patrons—the Spini family of Florence, a nun of the Bridgettine Order of Florence, and Ser Amideo of Santa Maria degli Ughi—desired to commission an altarpiece of the Assumption of the Virgin in an all’antica style. Neri di Bicci’s background as an artist, existing scholarship, and comparisons of older styles of art will also be discussed.
