The Triumph of Death, c. 1355
Buonamico di Martino or Buonamico Buffalmacco (active c. 1315–1336) was an Italian painter who worked in Florence, Bologna and Pisa. No recorded work of his survives, although he is assumed to be the painter of The Triumph of Death, a fresco cycle in the Camposanto in Pisa.
Boccaccio (in his Decameron) and Sacchetti (in his Il trecentonovelle) both describe Buonamico as being a practical joker. Giorgio Vasari includes a biography of Buonamico in his Lives.it:Buonamico Buffalmacco
