Tuccio d'Andria
Tuccio d'Andria (also Tuzio d'Andrea) was a late 15th‑century Italian painter from Apulia. Not much is known about his life, but several works are linked to him.
The only signed and dated painting definitely by Tuccio is a 1487 image titled Holy Conversation including Saints Pantaleone, Peter Martyr, Saint Peter, Bonaventure, Jerome, and a Mystical Marriage of Saint Catherine of Alexandria with the Donors. It was originally in the San Bonaventure Chapel of the Church of San Giacomo in Savona and is now in the cathedral museum there. The predella (the lower part) has been dispersed, and a panel with twelve apostles is now in Toulon, France.
Other works attributed to Tuccio include another Holy Conversation dated 1487 for the cathedral of Santa Maria sul Priamar in Savona (the cathedral was demolished to build the Priamar Fortress). The main altarpiece for the church of San Giacomo is attributed to a painter named “de Andria de Apulia,” and may be Tuccio.
Two works in the cathedral of Andria are also ascribed to him: panels depicting The Redeemer and Mary Virgin.
Additional works linked to Tuccio come from the church of San Bernardino in Molfetta and from Santa Maria Vetere in Andria; the latter is now in the Pinacoteca of Bari and shows Saints Catherine, Anthony of Padua, and Giacomo della Marca with Donors.
Overall, Tuccio d'Andria is considered a Quattrocento painter from Apulia with a handful of linked works, but detailed biographical information remains scarce.
