Master of the Washington Coronation
( fl Venice, 1324). Italian painter. He is named after a panel with the Coronation of the Virgin (1324; Washington, DC, N.G.A.). This work and an associated group of paintings were attributed to PAOLO VENEZIANO by Sandberg-Vavalà and most other authorities up to Pallucchini. Muraro and Lazareff, however, have distinguished this group from Paolo’s, Muraro tentatively proposing that they might be by Paolo’s brother Marco di Martino da Venezia ( fl 1335–45), by whom no documented work is known to survive. Marco is recorded with Paolo in 1335 by a notary of Treviso, Oliviero Forzetta, and as a resident of the same parish in Venice in 1345. Lucco has argued, however, that these paintings are the work of an earlier artist, perhaps the brothers’ father, Martino, rather than Marco.
