Andrej Rubljev (oko 1360. – oko 1430.) ostaje jedna od najenigmatičnijih i najdublje uticajnih figura u istoriji ruske umetnosti.

Ambrođio Lorenceti, rođen oko 1290. godine u srcu Italije, u Sijenu, pojavio se kao ključna figura u tranziciji iz srednjovekovnih umetničkih tradicija ka buđenju renesanse. Iako su ga u određenim periodima zasenili savremenici poput Dučija i Simone Martina, i iako se često govori o njemu uz pomen njegovog brata, slikara Pjetra Lorencetija, Ambrođio je izgradio jedinstven put, obeležen inovativnim duhom i dubokim povezivanjem sa svetom koji ga je okruživao.

Altičiero da Zevio, rođen oko 1330. godine u blizini mirnog gradića Zevio u Veroni, nije bio samo hroničar svetih događaja, već pionir venecijanskog gotičkog stila. Ova povezanost, verovatno stvorena kroz intiman studije Đotovih učenika kao što je Tadeo Gadi, omogućila je Altičieru da svom radu unese duboki osećaj volumena, težine i narativne jasnoće koja je bila revolucionarna za njegovo vreme.
