Andrea Vanni
Italian Byzantine Style Painter , ca.1332-1414 was an Italian painter of the early Renaissance. He was born in Siena, and in conjunction with Bartolo di Maestro Fredi, began to paint in 1353.

Many examples exist of his paintings between 1353 and 1414 in Naples and its vicinity.

A letter from St. Catherine to Vanni survives. About the year 1400,
