Tino di Camaino: Johannes de Doper, in the Museum of the Opera Metropolitana of the Duomo of Siena. About 1320
Tino di Camaino (Siena, ca. 1280 - Naples, ca. 1337) was an Italian sculptor who worked in Gothic style.
Tino di Camaino was the son of the architect Camaino di Crescentino. He assisted his teacher Giovanni Pisano with his work on the facade of the cathedral of Siena. Later, his master, Camaino, went to Pisa, where he was responsible for the work in the cathedral in 1311. Four years later, Camaino was charged with the tomb monument of Emperor Hendrik VII. He would perform similar work in Siena and Florence, including the famous tomb of Bishop Orso in Santa Maria del Fiore and the grave of Gastone della Torre in the Santa Croce museum.
From 1323 he worked in Naples, under King Robert van Anjou. He received again assignments for various grave monuments, including those of Catharina of Austria in San Lorenzo Maggiore, of Queen Maria of Hungary in Santa Maria Donnaregina and, after the end of his life, from Charles of Calabria and from Maria of Valois in the Basilica of Santa Chiara. Other works of him are in Badia Cava dei Tirreni. Tino di Camaino died in Naples around 1337.
