Agnolo Gaddi (active 1369-1396) was an Italian painter. He was the son of the painter Taddeo Gaddi.
His work includes frescoes in the choir of Santa Croce in Florence (1332-38) as well as:
- Madonna Enthroned with Saints and Angels (http://www.nga.gov/cgi-bin/pimage?7+0+0) (1380/1390), tempera on panel. Triptych, possibly commissioned for a Cistercian monastery.
- The Coronation of the Virgin (http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/cgi-bin/WebObjects.dll/CollectionPublisher.woa/wa/work?workNumber=NG568) (c.1380-90), tempera on wood. This painting is probably the central panel of an altarpiece, possibly from the church of San Giovanni de' Fieri near Pisa.
- Madonna of Humility with Angels (http://www.cummer.org/collection/euro/euro1.htm) (mid 1390s), tempera on panel
- Crucifixion (http://www.arca.net/uffizi/img/464.jpg) (no date), tempera on wood. Part of a polyptych.
Giorgio Vasari included a biography of Agnolo Gaddi in his Lives.
