Taddeo di Bartolo, also known as Taddeo Bartoli, was an Italian painter of the Sienese School during the early Renaissance. He is among the artists profiled in Giorgio Vasari's biographies of artists, or Vite. Vasari claims he was the uncle of Domenico di Bartolo. Around 1389, he entered the Sienese Guild of artists, where he honed his skills and mastered the art of painting among his Sienese colleagues. He was a respected painter among his peers and his works were well-regarded in his time.
