Andrea di Cione, (1308?-1368), known as Orcagna, or Orgagna, or Arcagno was. He was a Florentine painter, sculptor and architect, member of the Stonemasons Guild in Florence, capomaestro of Orsanmichele in Florence, and involved in the design and construction of Florence cathedral. His best know surviving works are the Christ in Majesty altarpiece in the Strozzi Chapel of the Church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, signed and dated 1357 (see White, Art and Architecture in Italy 1250-1400, pp. 557-9) and the recently restored tabernacle made in 1359 for Orsanmichele in Florence.
Works which Ruskin attributed to Orcagna, but no longer seen as his work, include the fresco of the Last Judgment in the Strozzi Chapel in Florence, now attributed to his brother Nardo di Cione, and Triumph of Death (severely damaged by allied bombing) in the Campo Santo at Pisa.
Ruskin's account of Orcagna in Modern Painters III provides a summary of what he sees as their particular quality, and their relationship to Holman Hunt.
