Master of the Castello Nativity
( fl Florence, c. 1445c. 1470/75). Italian painter. He was named by Berenson (1913) after the Nativity (Florence, Accademia) that came from the Medici villa at Castello. There are no datable works by the Master, but the earliest attributable works indicate stylistically that he was probably a pupil of Filippo Lippi and trained in his studio in Florence in the 1440s, before Lippis move to Prato.
