Traces of the same influence may perhaps be observed in the tombs of the Scaligers at Verona.[76] The most eminent pupil of Andrea Pisano, however, was a Florentine--the great Andrea Arcagnuolo di Cione, commonly known as Orcagna.

This man, like the more illustrious Giotto, was one among the earliest of those comprehensive, many-sided natures produced by Florence for her everlasting glory.

He studied the goldsmith's craft under his father, Cione, passing the years of his apprenticeship, like other Tuscan artists, in the technical details of an industry that then supplied the strictest method of design.

With his brother, Bernardo, he practised painting.

Like Giotto, he was no mean poet;[77] and like all the higher craftsmen of his age, he was an architect.
