re wrought
by Matteo with judgment, great mastery, and much diligence; but they
were thrown to the ground no long time after in the making of a chapel.
Beneath the pulpit of the Pieve the same man made a Christ with the
Cross for Messer Leonardo Albergotti.

A disciple of the Abbot of S. Clemente, likewise, was a Servite friar of
Arezzo, who painted in colours the facade of the house of the Belichini
in Arezzo, and two chapels in fresco, one beside the other, in S.
Pietro. Another disciple of Don Bartolommeo was Domenico Pecori of
Arezzo, who made three figures in distemper on a panel at Sargiano, and
painted a very beautiful banner in oil, to be carried in processions,
for the Company of S. Maria Maddalena. For Messer Presentino Bisdomini,
in the Chapel of S. Andrea in the Pieve, he made a picture of S.
Apollonia, similar to that mentioned above; and he finished many works
left incomplete by his master, such as the panel of S. Sebastian and S.
Fabiano with the Madonna, in S. Pietro, for the family of the Benucci.
In the Church of S. Antonio he painted the panel of the high-altar,
wherein is a very devout Madonna, with some saints; and since the said
Madonna is adoring the Child, whom she has in her lap, he made it appear
that a little angel, kneeling behind her, is supporting Our Lord on a
cushion, the Madonna not being able to uphold Him because she has her
hands clasped in the act of adoration. In the Church of S. Giustino, for
Messer Antonio Roselli, he painted a chapel with the Magi in fresco; and
for the Company of the Madonna, in the Pieve, he painted a very large
panel containing a Madonna in the sky, with the people of Arezzo
beneath, in which he made many portraits from the life. In this last
work he was helped by a Spanish painter, who painted very well in oil
and therein gave assistance to Domenico, who had not as much skill in
painting in oil as he had in distemper. With the help of the same man he
executed a panel for the Company of the Trinita, containing the
Circumcision of Our Lord, which was held a very good work, and a "Noli
Me Tangere" in fresco in the garden of S. Fiore. Finally, he painted a
panel with many figures in the Vescovado, for Messer Donato Marinelli,
Primicere. This work, which then brought him and still continues to
bring him very great honour, shows good invention, good design, and
strong relief; and in making it, being now very old, he called in the
aid of a Sienese painter, Capanna,
