Piero di Giovanni Tedesco (died c. 1402) was a German or Flemish sculptor active in Italy. He was born before 1386.
Life
According to Lorenzo Ghiberti, he owed his nickname 'Tedesco' to his origins in Germany or (according to others) in the Duchy of Brabant. He is first recorded in Florence in 1386 - there he worked on Florence Cathedral up until 1399 and a document dated 5 September 1387 from its records shows a payment to the painter Lorenzo di Bicci for designing a sculpture for Piero Tedesco to carve. He also worked on Milan Cathedral and in 1402 he is recorded as working on the font in Orvieto Cathedral.
The c.1399 Madonna of the Rose is attributed to him. Niccolò di Piero Lamberti was his assistant. His son Niccolò was a master glassmaker who worked on the windows at Orsanmichele among other places.
